100 kg⋅m/s
To calculate the momentum of an object, we use the formula:
momentum = mass × velocity
In this case, the mass of the object is given as 5 kg and the velocity as 20 m/s.
To find the momentum, we multiply the mass (5 kg) by the velocity (20 m/s):
momentum = 5 kg × 20 m/s
Calculating this gives us:
momentum = 100 kg·m/s
Therefore, the correct answer is:
100 kg·m/s.
To find the momentum of an object, you need to multiply its mass by its velocity. In this case, the object has a mass of 5 kg and a velocity of 20 m/s.
To calculate the momentum, you can use the formula:
Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Substituting the given values:
Momentum = 5 kg x 20 m/s
Now you can calculate the product of 5 kg and 20 m/s:
Momentum = 100 kg⋅m/s
Therefore, the momentum of the object is 100 kg⋅m/s.
