Question

What is the momentum of a 0.27 kg fly that is traveling at 128 m/s?

Answer 1

m = mass of the fly traveling = 0.27 kg

v = velocity of the fly traveling = 128 m/s

P = momentum of the fly traveling

we know that , momentum of an object is given as

P = m v where m = mass of object , v = velocity of object

so for the fly , the momentum is given as

P = mv

inserting the values

P = (0.27) (128)

P = 34.6 kgm/s

hence the momentum of fly comes out to be 34.6 kgm/s
