Calculate the magnitude of the linear momentum, in \text{kg m s}^{-1}, of a body of mass 6… — JAMB UTME

Calculate the magnitude of the linear momentum, in $\text{kg m s}^{-1}$ , of a body of mass $6\text{ kg}$ moving at a constant velocity of $15\text{ m s}^{-1}$ .

Cevap: 90 kg m s^-1

Cevap

The magnitude of the linear momentum is

90\text{ kg m s}^{-1}

Linear momentum (

p

) is the product of an object's mass (

m

) and its velocity (

v

). Substituting

m = 6\text{ kg}

and

v = 15\text{ m s}^{-1}

yields

p = 6 \times 15 = 90\text{ kg m s}^{-1}

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the given physical quantities

Mass

m = 6\text{ kg}

and velocity

v = 15\text{ m s}^{-1}

These are the parameters provided in the problem statement.

Apply the linear momentum formula

p = mv = 6\text{ kg} \times 15\text{ m s}^{-1} = 90\text{ kg m s}^{-1}

Linear momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity.
