Acar with two people traveling down the road has a mass of 100 kg and a velocity of 5 m/s. the car pulls over and picks up two people. the mass of the car is now 150 kg. what is the new momentum if the velocity stays the same?

750 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity in kg.m/s.

In this case, initial momentum⇒p=m × v where m is mass and v is velocity

initial mass of car m₁=100 kg

Initial velocity of car v₁=5 m/s

Initial momentum= 100×5= 500 kg.m/s

New mass after picking two extra people m₂= 150 kg

Velocity  stays the same v₂=v₁= 5 m/s

New momentum= m₂× v₂

p=150×5=750 kg.m/s
