A 2 kg basketball is thrown through the air northward with a velocity of 2 m/s. What is its momentum?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation for momentum is p = mv. In this question, m = 2 kg, and v = 2 m/s. Just multiply the two quantities together and include the direction (north) to obtain the answer.
p= momentum (measure in kg⋅m/s)
m = mass (measured in kg)
v = velocity (measure in m/s)
p = 2 kg x 2 m/s
p = 4 kg m/s north
