Question

bobby has a mass of 75 kg and he runs down the length of a football field at 4.6 m/s in an effort to catch the football being passed to him. what is his momentum? 79.6 kgm/s 70.4 kgm/s 16.3 kgm/s 345 kgm/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 \(m = 75\space kg\) and \(v=4.6\space m/s\). Then \(p=(75)(4.6)\).

Step3: Calculate the product

\(75\times4.6 = 345\)

Answer:

\(345\space kg\cdot m/s\)
