Calculate the momentum of a 50-kg carton that slides at 4 m/s across an icy surface.
Themomentum of a carton of given mass moving with a particular velocity.
Answer to Problem 25A
The momentum of the carton is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A carton of mass 50-kg slides across an icy surface at a speed of 4 m/s.
Formula used:
The momentum of a body represents its inertia while in motion. It can be expressed as the product of mass and velocity of the body ,
Calculation:
Here, speed or velocity of the carton is 4 m/s and mass of the carton is 50-kg. Thus, the momentum is given by,
Conclusion :
The momentum of a carton of given mass moving with a particular velocity is
