Answer :
Final answer:
The velocity of the vehicle is 70 m/s, calculated by dividing the given momentum of 84000 kg·m/s by the mass of the vehicle, which is 1200 kg.
Explanation:
The velocity of a vehicle can be calculated by dividing its momentum by its mass. Momentum is a product of mass and velocity and is given by the formula
momentum = mass × velocity.
Given that the vehicle’s momentum is 84000 kg·m/s and its mass is 1200 kg, we can find the velocity using the relation
velocity = momentum / mass.
So the velocity of the vehicle is
84000 kg·m/s ÷ 1200 kg = 70 m/s.
This indicates that the vehicle is traveling at a speed of 70 meters per second.
