Question

amy has a mass of 50 kg, and she is riding a skateboard traveling 10 meters per second what is her momentum? 5 kg·m/s 10 kg·m/s 50 kg·m/s 500 kg·m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for momentum

Momentum \( p = mv\), where \(m\) is mass and \(v\) is velocity.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 50\space kg\) and \(v=10\space m/s\). Then \(p=(50\space kg)\times(10\space m/s)\).

Step3: Calculate the result

\(p = 50\times10=500\space kg\cdot m/s\)

Answer:

\(500\space kg\cdot m/s\) (the fourth option)
