Answer :
Answer:
Momentum, [tex]p=7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a mosquito, m = 0.000015 kg
Velocity of the mosquito, v = 5.2 m/s
We need to find the momentum of the mosquito. The momentum of an object is given by :
p = mv
Put all the values in the above formula.
[tex]p=0.000015\ kg\times 5.2\ m/s\\\\p=0.000078\ N-m\\\\\text{or}\\\\p=7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m[/tex]
So, the momentum of the mosquito is [tex]7.8\times 10^{-5}\ N-m[/tex].
