Question

calculate the momentum of a 2000 kg elephant running at a speed of 7.50m/s​

Answer 1

Given:

• Mass (m) = 2000 kg
• Velocity (v) = 7.5 m/s

To Find:

• What is the momentum of an elephant?

Formula Used:

$\\ \bigstar{\underline{\boxed{\sf\blue{ Momentum = Mass \times Velocity }}}}$

Solution:

After Substituting the Values;

$\colon\implies{\sf{ Momentum = 2000 \times 7.5 }} \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf{ P = 15000 }} \\ \\ \colon\implies{\sf\red{ P = 15000 kgm/s }}$

Hence,

The Momentum of an elephant is 15000 kg.m/s.

Remarks:

• P = Momentum
• M = Mass
• V = Velocity
