Question

Solve the momentum for each of the following moving objects: A. a 0.50kg basketball that is thrown upward with a velocity of 300 m/s. B. A 2000 kg light railway cart moving in the direction of south with a velocity of 10m/s

Answer 1

A)

$$p=mv=0.50\ kg\times300\ \dfrac{m}{s}=150\ \dfrac{kg\times m}{s}.$$

B)

$$p=mv=2000\ kg\times10\ \dfrac{m}{s}=20000\ \dfrac{kg\times m}{s}.$$
