Suppose a 1,500 kg speedboat is traveling with a velocity of 13 m/s. What is the speedboat’s momentum?

19500 kgm/s

Explanation:

Mass of speedboat = 1,500 kg

Velocity = 13 m/s

speedboat’s momentum = ?

Recall that momentum is the product of the mass of an object by the velocity by which it moves.

i.e Momentum = Mass x velocity

= 1500kg x 13m/s

= 19500 kgm/s

Thus, the speedboat’s momentum is 19500 kgm/s

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

we have to simplify it

firstly, we will factor it

now, we can cancel like terms

now, we can combine it

so, we get

it is a negative acceleration
