Question

a 4 kg object is traveling to the right at a constant velocity of 16 m/s across a surface. the formula for momentum is p = mv, where \m\ is mass and \v\ is velocity. calculate the momentum if the mass of the object (4 kg) was held constant but the velocity was half as much (8 m/s). enter the answer in the box. kg·m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values into the formula

Given \(m = 4\space kg\) and \(v=8\space m/s\), and the formula \(p = mv\).

$$p=(4)(8)$$

Step2: Calculate the product

$$p = 32$$

Answer:

\(32\)
