Question

rugby player of mass 94 kg sprints to the line to score a try at 8 ms- 1 Calculate the momentum of the rugby player.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rugby player of mass 94 kg sprints to the line to score a try at 8 ms- 1.

The momentum of the player = 752kgm/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass (m)      = 94 kg

Velocity (V)  = 8 m/s

The momentum (p) of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. So it can be calculated by the formula,

p = mv

  = 94$\times$ 8 = 752 kgm/s

Hence, the momentum of the player = 752kgm/s
