A pelican is flying with a momentum of 50 kg.m. m/s. If it is flying 5 m/s east, what is the mass of the pelican?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The mass of the pelican is 10 kg

Explanation:

Force (Momentum) = Mass of pelican x Acceleration of pelican

50 kg.m. m/s = Mass of pelican x 5 m/s

Divide through by 5 m/s

Mass of pelican = (50 kg.m. m/s) / (5 m/s)

Mass of pelican = 10 kg
