Can anyone please help me with this question? I don't understand why the speed is v m/s.


A sport utility vehicle is travelling at a speed of v m/s. If its momentum has a magnitude of 32,800 kg·m/s, what is the SUV's mass?

Thanks
I know that I have to use the formula
p= m*v and then m=p/v, but what is the value of the speed?

To find the mass of the sport utility vehicle (SUV), given the magnitude of its momentum (p = 32,800 kg·m/s) and the speed (v m/s), you can use the formula:

p = m * v

Rearranging the formula to solve for the mass (m), you get:

m = p / v

The value of the speed (v) is not explicitly given in the question statement. However, you've mentioned that the speed is "v m/s," which suggests that v is a variable representing the speed. In this case, the information provided does not contain a specific speed value and you won't be able to find the mass without knowing the exact speed of the SUV.
