first body is in rest what is the momentum second body has a mass of 20 g and moves with a velocity of 10 M/s what is the momentum
Answers
Solution:
Provided that: 2 bodies are given.
• 1st body is at rest.
• 2nd body have
- Mass, 20 g
- And velocity, 10 m/s
To calculate:
- The momentum
Solution:
• Momentum (1st body) = 0 kg m/s
• Momentum (2nd body) = 0.2 kg m/s
Knowledge required:
- Momentum SI unit = kg m/s
- Velocity SI unit = m/s
- SI unit of mass = kg
Using concepts:
- Momentum formula
- Formula to convert g-kg
Using formulas:
Where, p denotes momentum, m denotes mass and v denotes velocity
Required solution:
~ Firstly let us find out the momentum of first body!
Explanation: As the body is at rest therefore, it's velocity is zero and let it have mass as m.
Henceforth, by using formula we get,
→ Momentum = Mass · Velocity
→ p = mv
→ p = m(0)
→ p = 0 kg m/s
→ Momentum = 0 kg m/s
~ Now let's find out the momentum of second body before that let us convert g into kg!..
→ Momentum = Mass · Velocity
→ p = mv
→ p = 0.02(10)
→ p = 0.2 kg m/s
→ Momentum = 0.2 kg m/s
