Detailed Solution

The initial momentum of a car weighing 1600 kg moving with a velocity of 30 m/s, which retards uniformly and comes to rest in 20 s is  48000 kg m/s
Given: Mass of the car (m)= 1600 kg
Initial velocity  (u)= 30 m/s Final velocity (v)= 0 m/s         (Since the car comes to rest)
Time taken (t)= 20 s
By using the formula,
 Momentum (p)= Mass×Velocity
Therefore, Initial momentum= Mass×Initial velocity
p= 1600 kg × 30 m/s
p=48000 kg m/s
