Question

The mass of a goods container is 4000 kg and mass of goods loaded on it is 20000 kg. If it's moving with a velocity of 2 m/s. What will be its momentum

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given

Velocity v = 2 m/s

Mass of lorry = 4000 kg

Mass of goods on the lorry = 20000 kg

Therefore Total mass m on the lorry

= 4000 kg + 20000 kg = 24000 kg

Momentum p = ?

We know that Momentum p

= Mass m × Velocity v Therefore p

= 24000 kg × 2 m/s Or p = 48000 kg m/s

Thus the momentum of the lorry = 48000 kg m/s.

Answer 2

Answer:

48000 kg m/s

Explanation:

20000+4000=24000

2(24000)=48000

momentum = 48000

hope it helps u !!
