Momentum

Momentum Formula: P = mv

  • P is momentum (in kg · m/s)
  • m is mass (in kg)
  • v is velocity (in m/s)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

m₁ = 87.2 kg

v₁ = 2.87 m/s

m₂ = 0.0520 kg

v₂ = 789 m/s

Step 2: Find Momentums

Football Player

  1. Substitute [MF]:                    P = (87.2 kg)(2.87 m/s)
  2. Multiply:                                P = 250.264 kg · m/s

Bullet

  1. Substitute [MF]:                    P = (0.0520 kg)(789 m/s)
  2. Multiply:                                P = 41.028 kg · m/s

Step 3: Find difference

  1. Define equation:                    P₁ - P₂
  2. Substitute:                              250.264 kg · m/s - 41.028 kg · m/s
  3. Subtract:                                 209.236 kg · m/s

Answer:

209.236

"Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally"

Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction

First use p=mv

Player:(plug in the data)

= 87.2*2.87

= 250.264

Bullet : (do the same)

Then subtract Bullet-Player =209.236
