The kinetic energy of a body of mass 15 kg is 30 joule. what is its momentum? (grade 9 physics-gravitation)

This problem is a piece o' cake, IF you know the formulas for both kinetic energy and momentum.  So here they are:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

So, now ... We know that

==> mass = 15 kg,  and

==> kinetic energy = 30 Joules

Take those pieces of info and pluggum into the formula for kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) · (mass) · (speed²)

30 Joules = (1/2) · (15 kg) · (speed²)

60 Joules = (15 kg) · (speed²)

4 m²/s² = speed²

Speed = 2 m/s

THAT's all you need !  Now you can find momentum:

Momentum = (mass) · (speed)

Momentum = (15 kg) · (2 m/s)

Momentum = 30 kg·m/s

(Notice that in this problem, although their units are different, the magnitude of the KE is equal to the magnitude of the momentum.  When I saw this, I wondered whether that's always true.  So I did a little more work, and I found out that it isn't ... it's a coincidence that's true for this problem and some others, but it's usually not true.)

answer: its c lololo

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it
