Question

what is the magnitude of momentum of a 22-g sparrow flying with a speed of 8.1m/s?

Answer 1

Task:

What is the magnitude of momentum of a 22 g sparrow flying with a speed of 8.1 m/s?

Solution:

$p = mv$, where

$p$ – momentum,

$m$ – mass,

$v$ – velocity

Given:

$m = 22\ g = 0.022\ kg,$

$v = 8.1\ m/s$

$p = mv = 0.022\ kg \cdot 8.1\ \frac{m}{s} = 0.1782\ \frac{kg \cdot m}{s}$

Answer:

$p = 0.1782\ \frac{kg \cdot m}{s}$
