  • Momentum Calculation: Truck Velocity & Mass - Physics Explained
    The momentum of an object is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

    $$P = mv$$

    Where:

    - P represents momentum (measured in kg m/s)

    - m represents the mass of the object (measured in kilograms)

    - v represents the velocity of the object (measured in meters per second)

    In this case, the truck has a mass of 4500 kg and is traveling with a velocity of 25 m/s. To calculate its momentum, we substitute these values into the formula:

    $$P = mv$$

    $$P = (4500 kg)(25 m/s)$$

    $$P = 112500 kg m/s$$

    Therefore, the momentum of the truck is 112500 kg m/s.
