Question

An object's momentum is defined as the product of its mass m and velocity v. Write an expression for the momentum of an object. Make a table to find the momentums of vehicle with a mass of 1000kg moving at a velocity of 15 m/s, 20 m/s, and 25 m/s.

Answer 1

can you write the expression?

Answer 2

I can try. :)

Answer 3

what does product mean?

Answer 4

To multiply, right?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

what two things are being multiplied?

Answer 7

The mass and the velocity.

Answer 8

so what you are saying is
momentum equals mass times velocity

Answer 9

now write that as an expression

Answer 10

example:

force is the product of mass and acceleration
so
force equals mass times accleration
so
f=ma

Answer 11

momentum=mv

Answer 12

m*v

Answer 13

Is that right?

Answer 14

yep

Answer 15

some people use greek letters to represent momentum because m is for mass, many times you may see i = mv

Answer 16

or P=mv

Answer 17

and for the rest of it? I just use to the expression and solve it to make a table?

Answer 18

yep

Answer 19

Thank you!!!!!
