Question

a pigeon flew 1,000 meters in 41 seconds. what was the pigeons momentum if its weight is 0.6 kg? answer:____kg*m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the pigeon's velocity

Velocity \(v=\frac{d}{t}\), where \(d = 1000\) m and \(t = 41\) s.
\(v=\frac{1000}{41}\text{ m/s}\approx24.39\text{ m/s}\)

Step2: Calculate the pigeon's momentum

Momentum \(p = mv\), where \(m = 0.6\) kg and \(v=\frac{1000}{41}\text{ m/s}\)
\(p=0.6\times\frac{1000}{41}\text{ kg}\cdot\text{m/s}=\frac{600}{41}\text{ kg}\cdot\text{m/s}\approx14.63\text{ kg}\cdot\text{m/s}\)

Answer:

\(14.63\)
