a football player with a mass of 97 kg runs up field at a velocity of 8 m/s. The momentum of the football player can be calculated using these two figures. What is the momentum of the football player?
The momentum of an object can be calculated by multiplying its mass (m) by its velocity (v).
Using the given figures:
Mass (m) = 97 kg
Velocity (v) = 8 m/s
Momentum (p) = mass × velocity
p = 97 kg × 8 m/s
p = 776 kg*m/s
Therefore, the momentum of the football player is 776 kg*m/s.
