Answer:
the weight for an object with a velocity of 12 meters per second is 600 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear momentum of an article is : p = mv
Where p = Momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
The velocity is 16 meters per second and the object weighs 450 kilograms
So, [tex]p = 450 \times 16[/tex]
We are supposed to find the weight for an object with a velocity of 12 meters per second
So, p = 12m
We are given that the linear momentum is a constant when the mass varies inversely of the velocity.
So, [tex]450 \times 16 = 12 \times m\\\frac{450 \times 16}{12}=m\\600=m[/tex]
Hence the weight for an object with a velocity of 12 meters per second is 600 kilograms
