1. A particle has a mass of 10 kg and a velocity of 5 m/s. What is the momentum of the
particle?


Sagot :

Concept :-

We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Thus, by the following definition, we get :-

[tex] \qquad \maltese \: \underline{ \boxed{ \purple{ \sf Momentum = Mass \times Velocity }}} \: \star[/tex]

Given Information :-

  • A particle has mass 10 kg
  • Moving with velocity 5 m/s

To Find :-

  • The momentum of the particle

Solution :-

Using the formula from the concept section, we get :-

[tex]\sf \longrightarrow Momentum =10 \: kg \times 5 \: {m}^{ - 1} ~~~ \\ \\ \\\sf \longrightarrow Momentum = {50~kg \: ms}^{ - 1} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow \underline{ \boxed{ \frak{ \orange{Momentum = {50 ~kg\: ms}^{ - 1} }}}} \: \star \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ [/tex]

Thus, the momentum of the particle is 50 kg m/s.
