Question

what is the momentum of a 2,414 kg truck traveling at a velocity of 24 m/s? answer:____ kg*m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for momentum

The formula for momentum \(p\) is \(p = mv\), where \(m\) is mass and \(v\) is velocity.

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given \(m = 2414\space kg\) and \(v=24\space m/s\), substitute into the formula: \(p=(2414)(24)\)

Step3: Perform the multiplication

\(2414\times24=(2400 + 14)\times24=2400\times24+14\times24\)
\(2400\times24 = 57600\), \(14\times24=336\)
\(p=57600 + 336=57936\)

Answer:

\(57936\)
