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 mass and velocity: \( p = m \times v \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Given: Body mass \( m = 10 \, \text{kg} \) and speed \( v = 5 \, \text{m/s} \).
Step 1: Apply momentum formula Momentum \( p \) is calculated as: \[ p = m \times v \]
Step 2: Substitute values Inserting the given values: \[ p = 10 \times 5 = 50 \, \text{kg m/s} \]
Answer: The calculated momentum is 50 kg m/s, corresponding to option (1).
