Question

what will be the momentum of car parked at roadside ?? Explain!​

Answer 1

The momentum of the car parked at roadside will be zero.

• The car which is parked at roadside has zero velocity because the car is in the rest.
• Now, the momentum of an object is the result of multiplication of the mass of that object and the velocity of that object.
• Let, the mass of the car = m
• And, the velocity is zero.
• So, the value of momentum will be,

Momentum

= mass×velocity

= m × 0

= 0

• So, the momentum of the car will be zero.
