Answer:
To calculate the momentum of the truck, we need to use the formula: momentum = mass x velocity
Given: mass of the truck = 2.50 \times 10^3 kg velocity of the truck = 110 km/h First, let's convert the velocity from kilometers per hour to meters per second. We know that 1 km = 1000 m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds, velocitym/s =
110× 1000 3600
Simplifying this gives us:
velocitym/s = 30.56 m/s Now, we
can substitute the values into the momentum formula: momentum = (2.50 x 10³) x 30.56
Calculating this gives us: momentum = 7.64×10¹kg・m/s
Therefore, the momentum of the truck is 7.64 × 10^4 kg-m/s.
