Understanding Momentum
Momentum is a measure of an object's mass in motion. It's calculated by the following formula:
* Momentum (p) = mass (m) * velocity (v)
Calculations
1. Identify the given values:
* Mass (m) = 750 kg
* Velocity (v) = 25 m/s
2. Plug the values into the formula:
* Momentum (p) = 750 kg * 25 m/s
3. Calculate the result:
* Momentum (p) = 18,750 kg·m/s
Answer:
The momentum of the 750-kg car traveling at 25 m/s is 18,750 kg·m/s.
