Calculate the momentum of a 32 kg eagle diving down to the water to catch a fish. During the dive, the eagle
travels 100 m in 10 seconds. Show your work


Sagot :

The eagle momentum : 320 kg.m/s

Further explanation

Given

mass = 32 kg

d = 100 m

t = 10 s

Required

The momentum

Solution

The velocity of the eagle :

[tex]\tt v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{100}{10}=10~m/s[/tex]

The momentum (P) :

[tex]\tt P=m\times v\\\\P=32\times 10\\\\P=320~kg.m/s[/tex]
