A toy car weighing 3.2 N gets pushed a distance of 10 m in 1.3 s. What is the momentum of the car?

2.51 kg * m/s

Explanation:

In order to find momentum, use the equation below:

momentum = mass * velocity.

Since neither mass nor velocity was given, you must solve for both variables.

In order to solve for mass, use the force equation for its weight / gravitational force.

Fg (gravitational force) = 3.2 N = ma = 9.8m

mass = 3.2 N / 9.8 m/s^2 = 0.326531 kg

In order to solve for velocity, use the equation:

velocity = displacement / time

velocity = 10m / 1.3 s = 7.69231 m/s

Momentum = mass * velocity = 0.326531 kg *  7.69231 m/s = 2.51177 kg * m/s = 2.51 kg * m/s
