Question

What is the velocity of a 5.5kg object that has a momentum of 550 kg m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

Momentum = mass X velocity

550 kg m/s = 5.5kg X velocity

550 kg m/s / 5.5kg = velocity

Velocity = 100 m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

The velocity of the object is 100m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the object is 5.5kg

$= > m = 5.5 \: kg$

Also given that the momentum of the object is 550kgm/s.We are required to find the velocity of the object.For that,we use an momentum relation.Momentum of a body is the product of its mass and velocity.Hence,mathematically

$P=mv$

Hence the velocity of the body is the ratio of momentum and mass.Therefore

$v=\frac{P}{m}$

Substituting the values of momentum and mass in the above relation,we get

$v=\frac{550}{5.5} = 100ms {}^{ - 1}$

Therefore,the velocity of the object is 100m/s
