A small 32-kilogram canoe broke free of its dock and is now floating downriver at a speed of 2.5 m/s. What is

the canoe's momentum? Show your work.

80 kgm/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of the Canoe is 32 kg Speed of the Canoe is 2.5 m/s

We are required to calculate the momentum of the Canoe?

We need to know that momentum is the product of mass of an object and its speed. Therefore;

Momentum = Mass * speed

Therefore;

Momentum = 32 kg * 2.5 m/s

= 80 Kgm/s

Thus, the momentum of the Canoe is 80 kgm/s.
