A car has a mass of 1.20 × 103 kilograms and a momentum of 2.00 × 104 kilogram meters/second. What is the velocity of the car?

0.06 meters/second

6.0 meters/second

16.7 meters/second

60.0 meters/second

167 meters/second

Verified Answer :

We know, Momentum = Mass velocity 
2
10⁴ = (1.20 10³) (v)
v = 2
10⁴ / 1.20 10³
v = 1.67
10
v = 16.7 m/s

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

The velocity of the car is 16.7 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • Mass of the car, m = 1,200 kg
  • Momentum of the car, P = 20,000 kgm/s

Velocity of the car

The velocity of the car is calculated by using the following equation;

P = mv

where;

  • v is the velocity of the car

\(v = \frac{P}{m} \\\\v = \frac{20,000}{1200} \\\\v = 16.7 \ m/s\)
