Question

Which has more momentum, a 6 kg object moving at 6 ms−1 or a 3 kg object moving at 10 ms−1?

Answer 1

Hi

Here in the first case m=6kg and v=6m/s

NOW, P=MV

P=6×6=6kgm/s

NOW IN THE SECOND CASE,

M=3KG AND V=10M/S

HENCE, P=MV

I.E, P= 3×10=30KGM/S

Hence momentum of second case will be less than case first.

HAVE A GOOD DAY
