An object moving with Velocity v = 2i + 3j + 4k find it's momentum take mass 3kg

Answer

6i + 9j + 12k kg m/s

Explanation

Solution

The momentum p\mathbf{p} of an object is defined as the product of its mass mm and its velocity v\mathbf{v}.

The formula is given by:

p=mv\mathbf{p} = m\mathbf{v}

Given values:

Mass m=3m = 3 kg

Velocity v=2i+3j+4k\mathbf{v} = 2\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j} + 4\mathbf{k} m/s

Substitute the given values into the formula:

p=3×(2i+3j+4k)\mathbf{p} = 3 \times (2\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j} + 4\mathbf{k})

Perform the scalar multiplication:

p=(3×2)i+(3×3)j+(3×4)k\mathbf{p} = (3 \times 2)\mathbf{i} + (3 \times 3)\mathbf{j} + (3 \times 4)\mathbf{k}

p=6i+9j+12k\mathbf{p} = 6\mathbf{i} + 9\mathbf{j} + 12\mathbf{k}

The units of momentum are kg m/s.

Therefore, the momentum of the object is 6i+9j+12k6\mathbf{i} + 9\mathbf{j} + 12\mathbf{k} kg m/s.
