6. 3 points: A hamster has a momentum of 16kgm/s when traveling with a velocity of 5.6 mls. What is the hamster's mass? Show your work, draw box around your answer and include units!

To find the hamster's mass, we can use the formula for momentum:<br /><br />\[ \text{momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} \]<br /><br />Given:<br />- Momentum (\( p \)) = \( 16 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)<br />- Velocity (\( v \)) = \( 5.6 \, \text{m/s} \)<br /><br />We need to find the mass (\( m \)). Rearranging the formula to solve for mass, we get:<br /><br />\[ \text{mass} = \frac{\text{momentum}}{\text{velocity}} \]<br /><br />Substituting the given values:<br /><br />\[ \text{mass} = \frac{16 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}}{5.6 \, \text{m/s}} \]<br /><br />\[ \text{mass} = 2.857 \, \text{kg} \]<br /><br />So, the hamster's mass is \( \boxed{2.857 \, \text{kg}} \).
