To find the mass of an object when the velocity and momentum are given, we can use the formula for momentum:
[tex]\[ \text{momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} \][/tex]
We can rearrange this formula to solve for mass:
[tex]\[ \text{mass} = \frac{\text{momentum}}{\text{velocity}} \][/tex]
Given:
- Velocity ([tex]\( v \)[/tex]) = 10 m/s
- Momentum ([tex]\( p \)[/tex]) = 50 kgm/s
Substituting the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{mass} = \frac{50 \, \text{kgm/s}}{10 \, \text{m/s}} \][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{mass} = 5 \, \text{kg}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the mass of the object is:
B. 5 kg
