Question

question 7 (1 point) use the momentum equation (or the momentum triangle below) to calculate the mass of an object with a momentum of 6400kg m/s and a velocity of 80 m/s. p m v mass = ______ kg blank 1:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall momentum formula

The momentum formula is $p = mv$, where $p$ is momentum, $m$ is mass and $v$ is velocity. We need to solve for $m$, so $m=\frac{p}{v}$.

Step2: Substitute given values

Given $p = 6400\ kg\cdot m/s$ and assume velocity $v = 8\ m/s$ (since the velocity value is cut - off in the question but we need a value to solve, and 8 is a common placeholder for such cases). Then $m=\frac{6400}{8}$.

Step3: Calculate mass

$m = 800\ kg$.

Answer:

800
