A 1210 kg car is traveling to California with a momentum of 56250 kg m/s. What is the velocity of the car?

A. 21.5 m/s
B. 46.5 m/s
C. 0.02 m/s
D. 26.9 m/s

Answer :

Answer:

v = 46.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of car = 1210 kg

Momentum of car = 56250 kg m/s

Velocity of car = ?

Solution:

Formula:

p = mv

p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Now we will put values in formula:

56250 kg m/s = 1210 kg × v

v = 56250 kg m/s / 1210 kg

v = 46.5 m/s

So a car having mass of 1210 kg with momentum 56250 kg m/s having 46.5 m/s velocity.
