An electron has a mass of 9.1×10−31kg. It revolves round the nucleus in a circular orbit of radius 0.529×10−10metreat a speed of 2.2×106m/s.
The magnitude of its linear momentum in this motion is.
A
1.1×10−34kg−m/s
B
2.0×10−24kg−m/s
C
4.0×10−24kg−m/s
D
4.0×10−31kg−m/s
Answer
2.0×10−24kg−m/s
Explanation
Solution
Linear momentum
=mv=9.1×10−31×2.2×106
=2.0×10−24kg−m/s
