Question

a 0.2 kg mug slides to the left at -6.0 m/s. what is its momentum?
image of a red mug with a leftward arrow
p = ? kg·m/s
round your answer to the nearest tenth.
remember: p = m·v
enter the sign (+ or -) and the magnitude.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall momentum formula

The formula for momentum is \( p = m \cdot v \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity.

Step2: Substitute values

Given \( m = 0.2 \, \text{kg} \) and \( v = -6.0 \, \text{m/s} \), substitute into the formula: \( p = 0.2 \times (-6.0) \).

Step3: Calculate the result

\( 0.2 \times (-6.0) = -1.2 \).

Answer:

\(-1.2\)
