Answer : Momentum, p = 48000 kg m/s
Explanation :
Given that,
Mass of the van, [tex]m=1.5\times 10^3\ kg[/tex]
Velocity of the van, [tex]v=32\ m/s[/tex]
Momentum of the van is given by the product of the mass and the velocity with which it is moving. It is given as :
[tex]p=mv[/tex]
[tex]p=1.5\times 10^3\ kg\times 32\ m/s[/tex]
[tex]p=48000\ kg\ m/s[/tex]
Hence, the momentum of the van is 48000 kg m/s.
