Question

The momentum of a boy of 60 kg weight running at 10 m/s is

Answer 1

Momentum of an object or a body is given by the product of its mass and velocity.

Hence, momentum = mass × velocity

=> p = mv

(momentum is denoted by p)

Here we have, mass of boy = 60 kg and he is running with a velocity of 10 m/s

So, momentum of the boy = 60 × 10 = 600 kg m/s

Answer :- 600 kg m/s

Other information

→ From the second law of motion, we can derive the force if momentum is given.

F = Δp

That is, force = change in momentum.

Answer 2

Question :

The momentum of a boy of 60 kg weight running at 10 m/s is.

Solution :

Given :

Velocity of the body = 10m/s

Mass of the body = 60 kg

To Find :

It's Momentum

Solution :

As we know that momentum is defined as the product of the given body's mass and the velocity gained by it .

p = mv

Momentum = 60kg × 10 m/s = 600 kg m/s
