Question

The momentum of a bald eagle in flight is calculated to be 345. The mass of the eagle is 5.0 kg. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the eagle?

Answer 1

The formula to find the magnitude of velocity is:

▲v= ▲M/m

▲v=Velocity Change
▲M=Momentum Change
m=Mass

Plug in the information;

▲v=345/5

The answer is 69

Answer 2

Answer : v = 69 m/s.

Explanation :

It is given that,

The momentum of a bald eagle in flight,
`p = 345\ Kgm/s`

Mass of the eagle, m = 5 kg

We know that the momentum of any object is defined as the product of mass and the velocity with which it is moving.

`p=mv`

`v=(p)/(m)`

`v=(345\ kgm/s)/(5\ kg)`

`v=69\ m/s`

The velocity of the eagle is 69 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.
