Bruce the Shark, is swimming very fast, at a constant velocity of 8 m/s. Bruce has a mass of 831 kg and is able to generate a force of 15 N with his tail. Calculate the pmomentum, in kg*m/s of this large shark.
answer please
p = mv = 831*8 kg-m/s
To calculate the momentum of Bruce the Shark, we can make use of the formula:
Momentum (p) = Mass (m) × Velocity (v)
Given information:
Mass (m) = 831 kg
Velocity (v) = 8 m/s
We can substitute these values into the formula:
p = m × v
= 831 kg × 8 m/s
Now, let's calculate the momentum of Bruce the Shark:
p = 6648 kg·m/s
Therefore, the momentum of Bruce the Shark is 6648 kg·m/s.
