an astronaut has a momentum of 280 kg and travels 10 m/s. what is the mass of the astronaut?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is

28 kg

Explanation:

The mass of an object given it's momentum and velocity / speed can be found by using the formula

[tex]m = \frac{p}{v} \\ [/tex]

where

m is the mass

p is the momentum

v is the speed or velocity

From the question

p = 280 kg/ms

v = 10 m/s

The mass of the object is

[tex]m = \frac{280}{10} = 28 \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

28 kg

Hope this helps you
