Answer:

Momentum, [tex]p=7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a mosquito, m = 0.000015 kg

Velocity of the mosquito, v = 5.2 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the mosquito. The momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Put all the values in the above formula.

[tex]p=0.000015\ kg\times 5.2\ m/s\\\\p=0.000078\ N-m\\\\\text{or}\\\\p=7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m[/tex]

So, the momentum of the mosquito is [tex]7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m[/tex].
