Given:
- mass = 0.018 kg
- velocity = 15 m/s
Formula:
- [tex] \small{ \boxed{ \bold{momentum = mass \times velocity} }}[/tex]
Solution:
In order to get the momentum, multiply the given mass and velocity.
The mass is 0.018 kg and velocity is 15 m/s... so,
[tex] \bold{momentum = mass \times velocity} \\ \: \: \: \: \bold{\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 0.018 \: kg \times 15 \: m/s }\\ \bold{\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \green{0.27 \: kg \cdot m/s}}[/tex]
Therefore, the momentum is [tex] \sf \purple{ 0.27\: \:kg \cdot m/s}[/tex]
