Question

Calculate momentum of field gun of mass 500kg when it recoils with velocity of 0.25 m/s after firing a shell from it

Answer 1

momentum = mass × velocity
so.....momentum = 500×0.25 = 125 kg m /s

Answer 2

MOMENTUM :

Mass, m = 500 kg

Velocity, v = 0.25 m/s

Momentum = m×v = 500 ×0.25 = 125 kgm/s
