Question

calculate the velocity of a moving body of mass 10kg whose linear momentum is 25kg ms-1
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

mass=10kg

p= 25 kg m/s

v=p/m

v=25/10 m/s

or v= 2.5 m/s

Answer 2

Given:

Mass of body = 10 kg

Linear momentum of body = 25 kg m$s^{-1}$

To Find: Velocity of body

Calculation:

• Linear momentum of any body is expressed as mass times its velocity.

• Linear momentum gives the measure of impact that the body can cause when in collision.
• Greater the mass, greater is the momentum.
• Higher the velocity, higher is the momentum.

Formula for linear momentum:

p = m * v

25 = 10 * v

v = 2.5 m/s

Answer:

Velocity of the body is 2.5 m/s.
