Question

A body of mass 10 kg is moving with a speed of 5 m/s. What is the momentum of the body?

• A. 50 kg m/s
• B. 100 kg m/s
• C. 200 kg m/s
• D. 25 kg m/s

Hint:

Remember: Momentum is the product of mass and velocity: \( p = m \times v \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Given: The mass of the body \( m = 10 \, \text{kg} \), and the speed \( v = 5 \, \text{m/s} \). Step 1: Use the formula for momentum The momentum \( p \) is given by the formula: \[ p = m \times v \] Step 2: Substitute the values Substitute the given values into the formula: \[ p = 10 \times 5 = 50 \, \text{kg m/s} \] Answer: The correct answer is option (1): 50 kg m/s.
