Question

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 ×× 10-3 kg⋅m/skg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kgkg = 1000 gg).

Answer 1

Answer:

Momentum, p = 720 g-cm/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is determined to be,

$p=7.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg-m/s$

We need to express this quantity in any equivalent units. We know that the conversions are as follows :

1 kg = 1000 g

and 1 m = 100 cm

$p=7.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg-m/s=7.2\times 10^{-3}\times (1000\ g)\times (100\ cm)/s$

p = 720 g-cm/s

So, the momentum of an object in any equivalent unit is 720 g-cm/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
