In 2009 Jamaican sprinter Usain bolt set the world record in the 100-meter sprint with an average velocity of 12.52 m/s. What was usains bolt momentum if he has a mass of 93.89 kg?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1175.50 kg m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Usain Bolt = 93.89 kg

Average velocity in 100- meter sprint = 12.52 m/s

The momentum can be calculated by finding product of mass and velocity as

The momentum [tex]p[/tex] is given by:

[tex]p=m\times v[/tex] kg m/s

where [tex]m[/tex] represents mass and [tex]v[/tex] represents velocity.

Thus momentum of Usain Bolt can be calculated by plugging in the given values for mass and velocity.

[tex]p=93.89\times 12.52[/tex]

∴ [tex]p=1175.50[/tex] kg m/s (Answer)
