Question

In 2009 Jamaican sprinter Usain bolt set the world record in the 100-meter sprint with an average velocity of 12.52 m/s. What was usains bolt momentum if he has a mass of 93.89 kg?

Answer 1

1175.50 kg m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of Usain Bolt = 93.89 kg

Average velocity in 100- meter sprint = 12.52 m/s

The momentum can be calculated by finding product of mass and velocity as

The momentum
`p` is given by:

`p=m* v` kg m/s

where
`m` represents mass and
`v` represents velocity.

Thus momentum of Usain Bolt can be calculated by plugging in the given values for mass and velocity.

`p=93.89* 12.52`

∴
`p=1175.50` kg m/s (Answer)
