An electron has a mass of 9.1 × 10-31 kg. It revolves round the nucleus in a circular orbit of radius 0.529 × 10-10 metre at a speed of 2.2 × 106 m/s. The magnitude of its linear momentum in this motion is1. 1.1 × 10-34 kg – m/s2. 2.0 × 10-24 kg – m/s3. 4.0 × 10-24 kg – m/s4. 4.0 × 10-31 kg – m/s

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2.0 × 10-24 kg – m/s

Concept:

The momentum, p of an object is defined as the product of its mass, m and velocity, v.

p = mv

Momentum has both direction and magnitude. Its direction is the same as that of velocity, v. The SI unit of momentum is kilogram-metre per second.

Calculation:

Linear momentum = mv = 9.1 × 10-31 × 2.2 × 106 = 2.0 × 10-24 kg-m/s
