Question

calculate the momentum of 500 grams glass marble which is moving with velocity of 2. 5 M per second

Answer 1

Mass of the body = 500 grams = 0.5 kg

Velocity of the body = 2.5 m/s

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity and it is a vector quantity.

Hence,

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 0.5 × 2.5

Momentum = 1.25 kg m/s

Hence, the momentum of 0.5 kg moving at 2.5 m/s is 1.25 kg m/s
