  • Calculating Momentum: Example of a Dog in Motion
    The momentum of an object is calculated using the following formula:

    Momentum (p) = Mass (m) × Velocity (v)

    In this case:

    * Mass (m) = 20 kg

    * Velocity (v) = 8 m/s

    Therefore, the momentum of the dog is:

    * p = 20 kg × 8 m/s = 160 kg m/s

    The momentum of the 20 kg dog running at 8 m/s is 160 kg m/s.
