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.
