when a particular football player is running at 2.5m/s, he has 227kgm/s of momentum. calculate the mass of the football player.

Respuesta :

In order to calculate the mass of the player, we can use the formula for the momentum:

[tex]p=m\cdot v[/tex]

Where p is the momentum (in kg m/s), m is the mass (in kg) and v is the speed (in m/s).

So, using p = 227 and v = 2.5, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 227=m\cdot2.5\\ \\ m=\frac{227}{2.5}\\ \\ m=90.8\text{ kg} \end{gathered}[/tex]
