A 100 kg fullback is running at 3.4 m/s to the East. What is the momentum of the fullback?
Please read my message addressed to you.
I know that his momentum will continue to go East
momentum= speed*mass
To calculate the momentum of an object, you need to use the equation:
Momentum = mass × velocity
In this case, the mass of the fullback is given as 100 kg, and the velocity is 3.4 m/s to the East. Thus, you can calculate the momentum by multiplying these two values:
Momentum = 100 kg × 3.4 m/s
To solve this calculation, multiply 100 by 3.4:
Momentum = 340 kg·m/s
Therefore, the momentum of the fullback is 340 kg·m/s.
