A delivery van moves slowly on an empty road at a speed of 25 m/s. the momentum of the delivery van is 62,500kg•m/s What is the mass of the van?
Answer:
∴The mass of the van is 2500 kg
Explanation:
We already know that,
- [tex]\boxed{\bold{p=mV}}[/tex]
Thus, we have,
- [tex]\begin{aligned} & \\ & \: \boxed{\begin{array}{c} \rm {\implies p=62500} \\ \rm{\implies v=25} \\ \end{array}} \\ \end{aligned}[/tex]
Substituting the givens to the formula
- [tex]\rm{62500=m(25)} \\\\\rm{m = \frac{62500}{25}}\\\\\rm{2500 \ kg}[/tex]
∴The mass of the van is 2500 kg
