Momentum = Mass × Velocity

From the given data, Mass is 1000kg and Velocity is 20m/s

Momentum = 1000 × 20
[tex]Momentum = 20000 {kgms}^{ - 1} [/tex]

Answer:

The momentum of the truck is [tex]2\times 10^4\ kg-m/s[/tex].

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the truck, m = 1000 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s (towards east)

Let p is the linear momentum of a truck. It is equal to the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is given by :

p = m v

[tex]p=1000\ kg\times 20\ m/s[/tex]

[tex]p=2\times 10^4\ kg-m/s[/tex]

So, the linear momentum of the truck is [tex]2\times 10^4\ kg-m/s[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
