Answer 1

Question :-

Object A - mass 1000 kg, velocity 20 km/h. Object B – mass 103 kg, velocity 85 km/h. Which object possess more momentum?

Answer :-

• Object A possess more momentum.

Step by step explanation :-

Here, we have two objects and having it's masses and velocities. We have to find here which object possess more momentum. Before that firstly we have to find the momentum of both objects.

We know that,

$\rm:\longmapsto{momentum = mv}$

Object A :

We have to firstly convert the velocity km/hr into m/s.

Velocity = 20km/hr = 5.55m/s (approx)

$\small\rm:\longmapsto{momentum = 1000 \times 5.55 = \bf \red{5550kgm/s} \: (approx)}$

Object B :

We have to firstly convert the velocity km/hr into m/s.

Velocity = 85km/hr = 23.61m/s (approx)

$\small\rm: \longmapsto{momentum =103 \times 23.61 = \bf \red{ 2431. 83kgm/s} \: (approx)}$

Hence,

• Object A possess more momentum.
