Identify the given and
formula. Show your solutions.
1. If a truck has a mass of 1000 kilograms and is traveling with a speed of v = 50 m/s, what is
its momentum? P=mv
2. A 1,400-kilogram car is also traveling in a straight line. Its momentum is equal to that of the
truck in the previous question. What is the velocity of the car?
a. V=p/v
3. A bus traveling at a speed of 50 km/h has a momentum of 180,345 kg.m/s. What is the mass
of the bus?
a. m=v/p
4. An official major league baseball has a mass of 0.14 kg. A pitcher throws a 40 m/s
fastball which is hit by the batter straight back up the middle at a speed of 46 m/s.
