Answer 1

Explanation:

What is the momentum of a 3 kg ball moving at the velocity of 5 m/s east?

Answer 2

Answer:

Momentum is the product of the mass of a particle and its velocity.

Explanation:

Momentum exits the product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. Momentum exists as a vector quantity; i.e., it contains both magnitude and direction. Isaac Newton's second law of motion declares that the time rate of change of momentum exists equal to the force acting on the particle.

Velocity exists as the directional speed of an object in motion as an expression of its rate of difference in position as observed from a certain frame of reference and as measured by a certain standard of time.

Here given that,

• 3 kg ball moving at the velocity of 5 m/s east.

$p=3 \mathrm{~kg} \times \frac{5 m}{\mathrm{~s}}$

$=\frac{15 \mathrm{kgm}}{\mathrm{s}}$

$=15 \mathrm{kgm}^{-1}$
