  • Calculate Velocity of a Space Probe: Momentum & Physics Problem
    Here's how to calculate the velocity of the space probe:

    Understanding Momentum

    Momentum (p) is the product of an object's mass (m) and velocity (v):

    * p = m * v

    Solving for Velocity

    1. Rearrange the equation: To find the velocity, we need to isolate it:

    v = p / m

    2. Plug in the values:

    v = 1100000 kgms / 100 kg

    3. Calculate:

    v = 11000 m/s

    Answer: The velocity of the space probe is 11000 m/s.
