Answer:
Option (A)
Explanation:
A 20 kg boy chases the butterfly with a speed of 2 meter per second.
Angle at which he runs is 70° North of West.
Therefore, Horizontal component (Vx) directing towards West will be,
Vx = v(Cos70°)
Vy = v(Sin70°)
Since momentum of a body is defined by,
Momentum = Mass × Velocity
Therefore, Westerly component of the momentum will be,
Momentum = 20 × (v)(Cos70°)
= 20 × 2Cos70°
= 13.68
≈ 13.7 kg-meter per second
Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.
