Answer» ⇒ Given: The mass of a cannon is 500 kg The velocity at which it was fired was 0.25 m/s. ⇒ Given Options: 1️⃣ 20 kg m/s 2️⃣ 2550 kg m/s 3️⃣ 125 kg m/s 4️⃣ 0.125 kg m/s ⇒ To Find: The momentum of the cannon. ⇒ Solution: It is given that the mass of the cannon is 500 kg and the velocity at which it is fired is 0.25 m/s. As we are asked to find the momentum of the cannon, we first NEED to find the FORMULA of momentum. That is: So, applying the VALUES we know into the equation: The required correct option is: 3️⃣ 125 kg m/s ✔ Momentum:The amount of MOTION a certain OBJECT has is termed as momentum. It is defined as the product of the mass of the object and its velocity. It is directly proportional to its quantities - the mass and velocity and an increases in momentum can be observed when either of these increases. |
