Problem

An object with a mass of 0.250 kg is moving through space with a linear velocity only and a kinetic energy of 1.000 J. Determine the magnitude of the momentum of this object as it is moving through space with a linear velocity. a. p = 0.500 kg⋅ms\frac{kg \cdot m}{s} b. p = 0.707 kg⋅ms\frac{kg \cdot m}{s} c. p = 1.000 kg⋅ms\frac{kg \cdot m}{s} d. p = 0.250 kg⋅ms\frac{kg \cdot m}{s} e. p = 1.414 kg⋅ms\frac{kg \cdot m}{s}
