  • Calculate Momentum: Dog Chasing Car - Physics Problem Solution
    Here's how to calculate the dog's momentum:

    Momentum Formula

    Momentum (p) is calculated using the following formula:

    p = mv

    where:

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

    * m = mass (measured in kg)

    * v = velocity (measured in m/s)

    Applying the Information

    * Mass (m) = 30 kg

    * Velocity (v) = 2 m/s

    Calculation

    p = (30 kg) * (2 m/s) = 60 kg·m/s

    Answer

    The magnitude of the dog's momentum is 60 kg·m/s.
