Good Day....

Problem:

A jeepney having a mass of 2000 kg travels 60 meters east at 80 seconds,determine the momentum of the jeepney.

Given Data:

m (mass) = 2000 kg

v (velocity) = 60 meter / 80 seconds east  or  0.75 m/s east

p (momentum) = ? unknown

Solution:

The formula for momentum is momentum = mass × velocity ( p = mv )

p = mv  

  = 2000 kg × 0.75 m/s  

  = 1500 kg.m/s  

 

Answer:

The momentum of the jeepney is 1500 kg.m/s  

Hope it helps...=)
