The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg • m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g).
To express the momentum of an object in an equivalent unit, we can convert the kilogram into grams.
1 kg = 1000 g
Therefore, we can convert the given momentum by multiplying it by the conversion factor:
7.2 × 10^-3 kg • m/s * 1000 g/kg = 7.2 × 10^-3 * 1000 g • m/s
This yields:
7.2 kg • m/s = 7.2 × 10^3 g • m/s
So, the momentum of the object can also be expressed as 7.2 × 10^3 g • m/s.
To express momentum in an equivalent unit, we can convert kilograms to grams by multiplying by 1000.
Given:
Momentum = 7.2 × 10^(-3) kg·m/s
To convert kg to g:
1 kg = 1000 g
Therefore,
7.2 × 10^(-3) kg × 1000 g/kg = 7.2 × 10^(-3) × 1000 g = 7.2 g·m/s
So, the momentum of the object is 7.2 g·m/s.
