The formula of linear momentum in terms of mass and linear velocity,

p = m v = 3.513 \times 5.00 = 17.565 k g m s^{- 1}

= 17.6 k g m s^{- 1}

(after rounding off to

3

significant figures as in data with the least number of significant figures).

Q. A body of mass, $m = 3.513 k g$ is moving along the $X$ -axis with a speed of $5.00 m s^{- 1}$ . The magnitude of its momentum is best recorded as,

$17.565 k g m s^{- 1}$

$17.56 k g m s^{- 1}$

$17.57 k g m s^{- 1}$

$17.6 k g m s^{- 1}$

The formula of linear momentum in terms of mass and linear velocity,
$p = m v = 3.513 \times 5.00 = 17.565 k g m s^{- 1}$
$= 17.6 k g m s^{- 1}$
(after rounding off to $3$ significant figures as in data with the least number of significant figures).
