Momentum Vector#

A momentum vector expressed in component form is exactly \(p_x =\) 8 \(\rm{kg \; m/s}\) and \(p_y =\) -6 \(\rm{kg \; m/s}\).

Part 1#

The magnitude, \(p\), and angle, \(\theta\), measured counterclockwise with respect to the positive \(x\)-axis of this vector are:

Answer Section#

  • \(p= 10\; \rm{kg \; m/s}\), \(\theta = 36.87^\circ\).

  • \(p= -10\; \rm{kg \; m/s}\), \(\theta = 323.13^\circ\).

  • \(p= 10\; \rm{kg \; m/s}\), \(\theta = 143.13^\circ\).

  • \(p= -10\; \rm{kg \; m/s}\), \(\theta = 143.13^\circ\).

  • \(p= 10\; \rm{kg \; m/s}\), \(\theta = 323.13^\circ\).
