An object experiences an impulse, moves and attains a momentum of 200 kg m/s. If its mass is 50 kg, what is its velocity?
Momentum = mass * velocity
You know two parameters of the above equation - so you can find the third.
4m/s
To determine the velocity of an object, we can use the equation for momentum:
Momentum = mass × velocity
Let's rearrange the equation to solve for velocity:
Momentum = mass × velocity
velocity = Momentum / mass
In this case, the momentum is given as 200 kg m/s and the mass is 50 kg.
Substituting the values into the equation, we have:
velocity = 200 kg m/s / 50 kg
Calculating the expression, we find:
velocity = 4 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the object is 4 m/s.
