Question

How much momentum does a `2 kg` object moving at `4 m/s` have?

Answer 1

Not much I guess.

The equation of momentum is basically `p=mv` where `p` is the momentum of the object, `m` is the given mass of the object and `v` is the velocity of the object.

So in the above question, `v=4ms^-1`, `m=2kg`, so that means momentum is `p=mv=2*4=8kgms^-1`

That's about the momentum of a ball being thrown smoothly to the bowlers pitch I presume.
