The momentum of an ostrich is calculated to be 5,400 kg*km / hr Its mass is known to be 120 kg. Was the ostrich moving or standing still?

Verified Answer :

As
   momentum=5,400kgkm/hr
   mass=120kg
   momentum=massvelocity
   velocity=45km/hr or 12.5ms^-1
    so ostrich is moving with 12.5ms^-1

The correct answer to the question is : The ostrich is motion.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the momentum of ostrich P = 5400 Kg. Km/hr.

The mass of the ostrich m = 120 Kg.

The momentum of a body is defined as the product of mass with velocity.

Mathematically P = mv.

The velocity of the ostrich v is calculated as -

                                           v = \(\frac{P}{m}\)

                                              = \(\frac{5400}{120}\ Km/hr\)

                                              = 45 Km/hr

Hence, the ostrich is in motion as it is moving with a velocity of 45 Km/hr.
