Compute the values of momentum for the 
following situations:
a. a 90 kg football player running at 6 m/s
b. a 1500 kg car moving at a rate of 
100 km/h
c. a 200,000 kg Boeing 777 moving at a speed 
of 500 km/h
d. a bullet with a mass of 15 g traveling at a 
speed of 500 m s/
e. a 140 g baseball traveling at 120 km/h
f. an 80 kg stunt performer falling off a tenstory building reaching a speed of 30 m 

Expert Solution
Step 1

 We know momentum of a body  of mass  'm' and moving with velocity ' v ' is given by

P = mv

(a) momentum ( P ) =  mv = 90×6

                                   = 540 kg - m/s

(b) P = mv = 1500 × 100  kg - km/h

                    =150000 kg - km/h

                      = 41666 .67 kg-m/s

(c) P = mv = 200000 × 500  kg - km/h

                   = 100000000 kg - km/h

                   = 27777777.77  kg - m/s
