Calculate The Momentum Of A 5g Bullet With A Velocity 200m/s

Good question
To calculate the momentum of an object, you can use the equation:
Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)
Given:
Mass (m) = 5 grams = 0.005 kg (since 1 gram = 0.001 kg)
Velocity (v) = 200 m/s
Now, substitute these values into the equation to find the momentum:
p = m × v
= 0.005 kg × 200 m/s
p = 1 kg·m/s
So, the momentum of a 5g bullet traveling at a velocity of 200 m/s is 1 kg·m/s.
