Given:
Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s
Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s
To Find:
Mass of the dog (m)
Concept/Theory:
[tex] \underline{\underline{ \bf{\Large{Momentum}}}}[/tex]
- It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
- It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
- It is represented by p.
- It's SI unit is kg m/s
- Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum: [tex] \boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}[/tex]
Answer:
By using equation of momentum, we get:
[tex] \rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{p}{v} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{120.5}{5} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = 24.1 \: kg[/tex]
[tex] \therefore [/tex] Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg
