Answer:
[tex]Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
Mass = 10kg
Velocity = 2m/s
Required
Calculate the momentum of the man
Momentum is calculated as thus
[tex]Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)[/tex]
or
[tex]p = mv[/tex]
So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;
The formula becomes
[tex]Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s[/tex]
[tex]Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s[/tex]
[tex]Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s[/tex]
Hence, the momentum of the man is [tex]20kgm/s[/tex]
