Question

A 100kg sumo wrestler named Bob is doing his daily run. He runs at a velocity of 8m/s. After the run Bob stops for a rest, and sits at the river.

What is Bob's momentum will resting at the river?
Question 10 options:
800 kgm/s
800 kgm/s^s
0 kgm/s
12.5 kgm/s^2

Answer 1

0 kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The momentum of Bob while resting at the river is 0 kgm/s.

This is because the momentum of any object at rest is 0.

Momentum is the quantity of motion a body contains. It is mathematically expressed as;

Momentum = m x v

m is the mass

v is the velocity

So at rest, the velocity of a body is 0m/s and therefore, the momentum is O
