Ameteorite of mass 1500 kg moves with a speed of 0.700 c . find the magnitude of its momentum p.

Explanation:

Since the meteorite is moving at a speed which is a significant fraction of the speed of light, we must use the formula for the relativistic momentum:

where

is the relativistic factor

is the rest mass of the meteorite

is the speed of the meteorite

First of all, let's find the relativistic factor

And since , the speed of the meteorite is

So now we can find the momentum of the meteorite

real, smaller and upside-down.   so the answer should be b.
