Given:
a.) Mass = 8,850 kg
b.) Velocity = 55 m/s
For us to be able to get the momentum of the truck, we will be using the following formula:
[tex]\text{ Momentum = p = m x v}[/tex]Where,
p = the momentum
m = the mass
v = the velocity
We get,
[tex]\text{ Momentum = p = m x v}[/tex][tex]\text{ = 8,850 x 55}[/tex][tex]\text{ Momentum = }486,750\text{ kg }\cdot\text{ m / s}[/tex]Therefore, the momentum of the truck is 486,750 kg·m/s
