Question

A body of mass 10 kg is moving with a speed of 5 m/s. What is the momentum of the body?

• A. 50 kg m/s
• B. 100 kg m/s
• C. 200 kg m/s
• D. 25 kg m/s

Hint:

Remember: Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. The unit of momentum is \( \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Calculate momentum Momentum (\( p \)) is determined by the formula:\[p = m \times v\]Here:- \( m \) represents the mass (10 kg),- \( v \) represents the velocity (5 m/s).Step 2: Insert values into the formula \[p = 10 \times 5 = 50 \, \text{kg m/s}\]Result: The object's momentum is 50 kg m/s. The correct option is (1).
