Understanding Momentum
Momentum is a measure of an object's mass in motion. It's calculated by:
* Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)
Calculations
* Mass (m): 725 kg
* Velocity (v): 30 m/s
* Momentum (p) = (725 kg) × (30 m/s) = 21,750 kg·m/s
Answer: The momentum of the compact car is 21,750 kg·m/s.
