Question:medium

A body of mass 5 kg is moving with a velocity of 15 m/s. What is its momentum?

Show Hint

Remember: Momentum is calculated using the formula \( p = m \times v \), where mass is in kg and velocity is in m/s.

  • \( 75 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)
  • \( 50 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)
  • \( 25 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)
  • \( 10 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)
Hide Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Apply the momentum formula
Momentum \( p \) is calculated using the formula:\[p = m v\]with:- \( m \) representing the object's mass,
- \( v \) representing the object's velocity.
Step 2: Input the provided data

Given:- Mass \( m = 5 \, \text{kg} \),
- Velocity \( v = 15 \, \text{m/s} \).
Substitute these into the formula:\[p = 5 \times 15 = 75 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}\]Result: The object's momentum is \( 75 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \). This corresponds to option (1).
