What is the magnitude of the momentum of a 3400 kg airplane traveling at a speed of 450 miles per hour?

The magnitude of momentum of the airplane is .

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the airplane, m = 3400 kg

Speed of the airplane, v = 450 miles per hour

Since, 1 mile per hour = 0.44704 m/s

v = 201.16 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of momentum of the airplane. It is given by the product of mas and velocity such that,

or

So, the magnitude of momentum of the airplane is . Hence, this is the required solution.
