Respuesta :

Answer:

The momentum of Sam is p = 1350 Kg m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of Sam, m = 75 Kg

The speed at which he leaves the jump, v = 18 m/s

The momentum as he leaves the jump, p = ?

The linear momentum of a body is equal to the mass multiplied by its velocity. It is a vector quantity where it is directed along with the velocity of the body.

The formula for momentum is,

                              p = mv    Kg m/s

Substituting the values in the above equation,

                               p = 75 Kg x 18 m/s

                                  =  1350 Kg m/s

Hence, the momentum of Sam leaving the jump is p = 1350 Kg m/s
