How much momentum does a #1/4 kg# object moving at #32 m/s# have?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Momentum is calculated as a vector with value equal to product of velocity (#v#) and mass (#m#) and direction equal to the direction of velocity vector.

The value in this case is:

#8 \ "kg m/s"#

The following equation determines an object's momentum:

#p=mv#

#m# is the mass of the object

#v# is the velocity of the object

Thus, after entering our supplied values into the formula, we obtain:

#p=1/4 \ "kg"*32 \ "m/s"#

#=8 \ "kg m/s"#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
