A 9072 kg humpback whale is swimming at a speed of 0.273 m/s. what is its momentum?

The whale's momentum is approximately 2476.7 kg m/s

Explanation:

Recall that the definition of linear momentum is the product of the object's mass (in our case the whale's mass) times the object's velocity (in our case 0.273 m/s).

Therefore the whale's momentum (P) is:

P = M * v = (9072 kg) * (0.273 m/s) = 2476.656  kg m/s

which can be rounded to one decimal to: 2476.7 kg m/s

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
