Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A 50 kg person jumps off a diving board with a speed of 5 m/s. What is the momentum of the person just before hitting the water?
  • Step 1: Identify the mass of the person. The mass is given as 50 kg.
  • Step 2: Identify the speed of the person just before hitting the water. The speed is given as 5 m/s.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for momentum, which is momentum (p) = mass (m) * velocity (v).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: p = 50 kg * 5 m/s.
  • Step 5: Calculate the momentum: 50 kg * 5 m/s = 250 kg·m/s.
  • Momentum – Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, represented by the formula p = mv.
