Answer:
The weight for an object with a velocity of 12 meters per second is 600 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula of linear momentum : p = mv
where p is the momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
If the velocity is 16 meters per second and the object weighs 450 kilograms
Substitute the values
[tex]p = 16 \times 450[/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]16 \times 450 = 12 m[/tex]
[tex]\frac{16 \times 450}{12}=m[/tex]
600 = m
So,the weight for an object with a velocity of 12 meters per second is 600 kilograms
