The car’s momentum after 4.21s is 24617.4 kgm/s

Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Newton's second law state that, the rate of change of momentum, is directly proportional to the applied force.

Given that a 1200 kg car passes traffic light at a velocity of 10.2 m/s to the north and accelerates at a rate of 2.45 m/s^2. To calculate the car’s momentum after 4.21 s, Let us first list all the parameters involved.

  • Velocity u = 10.2 m/s
  • Acceleration a =  2.45 m/s²
  • Mass m = 1200Kg
  • Time t = 4.21 s

From Newton's second law,

F = (mv - mu) / t

ma = (mv - mu) / t

Substitute all the parameters into the formula above.

1200 × 2.45 = ( mv - 1200 × 10.2 ) / 4.21

2940 = ( mv - 12240 ) / 4.21

Cross multiply

12377.4 = mv - 12240

Make mv the subject of the formula

mv = 12377.4 + 12240

mv = 24617.4 kgm/s

Therefore, the car’s momentum after 4.21s is 24617.4 kgm/s
