Question

Which object has the most momentum?

A) a mass of 100, kg with a velocity of 2.0 m/sec
B) a mass of 100 kg with a velocity of 32.0 m/sec
C) a mass of 15 kg with a velocity of 200. m/ sec

Answer 1

C) has the most mass

Answer 2

A :-) a.) given - m = 100 kg
v = 2 m/s
Solution -
p = mv
p = 100 x 2
p = 200 kg m/s

b.) Given - m = 100 kg
v = 32 m/s
Solution
p = mv
p = 100 x 32
p = 3200 kg m/s

c.) Given - m = 15 kg
v = 200 m/s
Solution -
p = mv
p = 15 x 200
p = 3000 kg m/s

.:. Option c.) 3000 kg m/s object has the most momentum
