Suppose a 1,500 kg speedboat is traveling with a velocity of 13 m/s. What is the speedboat’s momentum?
Answer
A
115 kg •
B
1,513 kg •
C
19,500 kg •
Explanation
Momentum is mass multiplied by velocity: p = mv. For the speedboat, p = 1,500 kg × 13 m/s = 19,500 kg·m/s. Therefore, the correct choice is C, 19,500 kg·m/s.
