  • Calculating Momentum: A Step-by-Step Guide with Example
    Here's how to calculate the momentum of the car:

    Understanding Momentum

    Momentum (p) is a measure of an object's mass in motion. It's calculated by the following formula:

    * p = mv

    Where:

    * p = momentum (measured in kg*m/s)

    * m = mass (measured in kg)

    * v = velocity (measured in m/s)

    Calculation

    1. Identify the given values:

    * Mass (m) = 920 kg

    * Velocity (v) = 25 m/s

    2. Plug the values into the momentum formula:

    * p = (920 kg) * (25 m/s)

    3. Calculate the momentum:

    * p = 23,000 kg*m/s

    Answer: The momentum of the 920-kg car moving at 25 m/s is 23,000 kg*m/s.
