What is the momentum of a 2000 kg truck that moves at 10 m/s?
To calculate momentum one would obtain it according to the following formula
P = m • v
P = (2000 kg) • (10 m/s)
P = 20,000 kgm/s.
20,000 kgm/s.
The product of mass and velocity is known as momentum
Momentum = massvelocity
= mv
= (2000 kg) * (10 m/s)
= 20,000 kgm/s.
