Question

an elephant with the mass of 1000 kg is running at 15 m/s across the Savannah. calculate the elephants momentum

Answer 1

Answer:

The momentum of elephant is 15000 kg m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of the elephant = 1000 kg

Velocity of the elephant = 15 m/s

To find:

Momentum of the elephant

Solution :

$\sf{Momentum = m \times v}$

$\sf{\longrightarrow} \: p = 1000 \times 15$

$\sf{\longrightarrow} \: p = 15000 \: kg \: ms^{ - 1}$

Momentum = 15000 kg m/s

Therefore, the momentum of elephant is 15000 kg m/s.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

Mass = 1000 kg

Velocity = 15 m/s

To Find :-

Momentum

Solution :-

We know that

∆p = mv

∆p = Momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

∆p = 1000 × 15

∆p = 15,000 kg m/s

So,

momentum of elephant is 15000 kg m/s.
