what a the momentum of a 3.5-kg boulder rolling downhill a 5 m/s
Answer : The momentum of an object is, \(17.5\text{ Kg }m/s\)
Solution : Given,
Mass of an object = 3.5 Kg
Velocity of an object = 5 m/s
Momentum : Momentum is the product of mass and the velocity of an object.
Formula used :
\(p=m\times v\)
where,
p = momentum of an object
m = mass of an object
v = velocity of an object
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the value of momentum of an object.
\(p=(3.5Kg)\times (5m/s)=17.5\text{ Kg }m/s\)
Therefore, the momentum of an object is, \(17.5\text{ Kg }m/s\)
