Answer:
61.3kgm/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Velocity of object = 27m/s
Weight = 5lbs
Unknown:
Momentum of the object = ?
Solution:
The momentum of a body can be derived from the product of its mass and velocity.
Momentum is the amount of motion a body possesses.
Momentum = mass x velocity
Now, let us convert the weight in pounds to mass in kg
1lbs = 0.454kg
5lb = 5 x 0.454 = 2.27kg
So,
Momentum = 2.27 x 27 = 61.3kgm/s
