Suppose a 1,500 kg speedboat is traveling with a velocity of 13 m/s. What is the speedboat's momentum?

Answer: 19500 kg m/s

Identify the given information.

m = 1500 kg

v = 13 m/s

Choose which formula you should use. In this case, you are finding momentum.

p = mv, where p is momentum.

Substitute and solve.

p = 1500 kg x 13 m/s

p = 19500 kg m/s
