Question

A body of mass $2kg$ is moving with a velocity of $12m/s$. Find the momentum of the body.

Answer 1

Step 1 - Given

1. Mass of the body $\left(m\right)=2kg$.
2. Velocity of body $\left(v\right)=12m/s$.

Step 2 - Momentum

1. It is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of a body.
2. Momentum can be calculated by using the relation: $p=m\times v$.

Step 3 - Calculation of momentum

1. We know that $p=m\times v$.
2. $p=2\times 12kgm/s=24kgm/s$.

Hence, the momentum of the body is 24 kgm/s.
