A 1,400kg car is traveling in a straight line. Its momentum is equal to 2,000 kg. What is the velocity of the car?
I assume the momentum is 2000 kg m/s not 2000 kg
m V = 2000
1400 V = 2000
v = 1.43 m/s
To find the velocity of the car, we can use the formula for momentum:
Momentum = mass * velocity
Given that the mass of the car is 1,400 kg and the momentum is 2,000 kg.m/s, we can rearrange the formula to solve for velocity:
velocity = momentum / mass
Plugging in the values:
velocity = 2,000 kg.m/s / 1,400 kg
Simplifying:
velocity = 1.43 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the car is 1.43 m/s.
