The momentum of the water balloon is equal to: C) 7.2 kgm/s

Given the following data:

  • Velocity of water balloon = 18 m/s
  • Mass of water balloon = 0.4 kg

To determine the momentum of the water balloon:

In Physics, momentum refers to the multiplication of the mass of an object and its velocity. Thus, momentum is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

[tex]Momentum = mass \times velocity[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]Momentum = 0.4 \times 18[/tex]

Momentum = 7.2 kgm/s
