Among the largest passenger ships currently in use, the Norway has been in service the longest. The Norway is more than 300 m long, has a mass of 6.9x10^7 kg, and can reach a top cruising speed of 9 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the ships momentum

The magnitude of the momentum of an object is given by:
[tex]p=mv[/tex]
where m is the mass of the object, and v is its velocity.

In our problem, the mass of the ship is [tex]m=6.9 \cdot 10^7 kg[/tex] while its velocity is [tex]v=9 m/s[/tex], so the momentum of the ship is
[tex]p=mv=(6.9 \cdot 10^7 kg)(9 m/s)=6.21 \cdot 10^8 kg m/s[/tex]

Answer:

6.9x10^7
