Find the momentum on a 50 gram rock traveling at 30 m/s in kgm/s. Then find how much kinetic energy the same rock has in Joules.

Answer:

[tex]p=1.5kgm/s\\K=22.50J[/tex]

Explanation:

First of all the mass in in g and we need it in kg, so let's convert it.

[tex]50g(\frac{1kg}{1000g})=0.050kg[/tex]

Now we can proceed.

Find the momentum.

[tex]p=m*v[/tex]

[tex]p=(30m/s)(0.050kg)\\p=1.5kgm/s[/tex]

Now let's find the kinectic energy that this rock has in Joules.

[tex]K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

[tex]K=\frac{1}{2}(0.050kg)(30m/s)^2\\ K=\frac{1}{2}(0.050kg)(900m^2/s^2)\\ K=22.50J[/tex]
