The formula for momentum is defined as: p = mv (momentum = mass * velocity). To start computing the problem we need to know first the unit that we will use. In that case, we will use English unit since the given are in this form but I will still include the SI unit conversion. The English unit for momentum is pound-foot/second (kg-m/s in SI unit). First, we will convert 30mph to feet per second: 30mph is equal to 44 ft/s (13.41 m/s).

Computation:

p = mv

p = (2000 lbs) * (44 ft / s) OR (907.2 kg) * (13.41 m / s)

p = 88, 000 lb-ft/s (pound feet per second) OR 12, 166 kg-m/s (kilogram meters per second)

Answer: 88, 000 lb-ft/s OR 12, 166 kg-m/s

Which has a greater momentum a small pick up truck traveling at 55km an hour or a full-sized bus traveling at the same speed?

Momentum is mass times velocity, if the velocity of the two are the same, the object with the greater mass will have proportionally greater momentum.


How do you find magnitude of initial momentum?

INITIAL MOMENTUM = FINAL MOMENTUM ∑M1V1 + M2V2 +… + MnVn = ∑ M1V1 + M1V1 +… + MnVn + or momentum=mass x acceleration unit for momentum=kg x m/sec its confusing...
