### Problem Statement:

2) A 2600 lb truck is moving on a road at 60 mph. Find the magnitude of its momentum.

### Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for momentum \( p \), which is given by:
\[ p = m \cdot v \]

where
- \( p \) is the momentum,
- \( m \) is the mass of the object, and
- \( v \) is the velocity of the object.

First, convert the weight of the truck from pounds (lbs) to a mass in slugs (since 1 slug = 32.174 lb):

\[ \text{Mass of truck } (m) = \frac{2600 \text{ lbs}}{32.174 \text{ lb/slug}} \approx 80.8 \text{ slugs} \]

Next, use the given speed \( v = 60 \text{ mph} \) in the momentum formula:

\[ p = 80.8 \text{ slugs} \times 60 \text{ mph} = 4848 \text{ slug}\cdot\text{mph} \]

Therefore, the magnitude of the truck's momentum is 4848 slug·mph.
