Question

What is the magnitude of the momentum of the following: (a) a 160 g cricket ball traveling at a speed of 29.4 ms-1 and (b) a 3.0 kg cat chasing a mouse at a speed of 1.2 s^-1

Answer 1

Answer:

a) mass=160g=0.16kg;velocity=29.4m/s

momentum=mv=0.16*29.4=4.704Kg m/s

b)mass=3kg;velocity=1.2m/s

momentum =mv=3*1.2=3.6Kg m/s
