Momentum

Concept: Momentum (linear momentum) of an object is a measure of its mass in motion. It is defined as the product of the object's mass and its velocity. Step 1: Identify the given quantities Mass of the lorry, Mass of the goods loaded, Velocity of the lorry (with goods), Step 2: Calculate the total mass The total mass ( ) of the moving system (lorry + goods) is the sum of the mass of the lorry and the mass of the goods. Step 3: Recall the formula for momentum Linear momentum ( ) is given by the formula: Step 4: Substitute the total mass and velocity into the formula Step 5: Calculate the momentum The unit of momentum is . Therefore, the momentum of the lorry will be .
