The mass of goods lorry is 5500 kg and the mass of goods loaded on it is 10000 Kg if the lorry is moving with a velocity of 2 metre per second what will be its momentum?
Answers
Given, Velocity (v) = 2m/s Mass of lorry = 5500 kg, Mass of goods on the lorry = 10000 kg Therefore, total mass (m) of the lorry = 5500 kg + 10000 kg = 15500 kg Momentum (p) =? Momentum (p) = Mass (m) x Velocity (v) Therefore, p = 15500 kg x 2 m/s = 31000 kg m/s Thus, momentum of the lorry = 31000 kg m/s.
Question:-
The mass of goods lorry is 5500 kg and the mass of goods loaded on it is 10000 Kg if the lorry is moving with a velocity of 2 metre per second what will be its momentum?
Given :
Mass of a goods lorry = 5500 kg
Mass of goods = 10,000kg
Velocity of the loaded lorry = 2ms¯¹
To Find :
Momentum
Formula used :
Momentum = mass × velocity
Solution :
Mass of lorry = 5500 kg
Mass of goods = 10,000kg
Total mass of loaded lorry(m) =10,000+5,500
= 15,500 kg
And,
Velocity of the loaded lorry (v) = 2ms¯¹
Now,
Momentum = m× v
= 15,500 × 2
= 31,000 kgms¯¹
Therefore, the momentum of the loaded lorry is 31,000 kgms¯¹.
OR
Given,
Velocity (v) = 2m/s Mass of lorry = 5500 kg,
Mass of goods on the lorry = 10000 kg
Therefore,
total mass (m) of the lorry = 5500 kg + 10000 kg = 15500 kg Momentum (p)
=? Momentum (p) = Mass (m) x Velocity (v)
Therefore,
p = 15500 kg x 2 m/s = 31000 kg m/s
