Question

Calculate the momentum of a 110-kg football player running at 8.0 m/s.Compare the player’s momentum with the momentum of a hard-thrown 0.410-kg football that has a speed of 25.0 m/s.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given Calculate the momentum of a 110-kg football player running at 8.0 m/s.Compare the player’s momentum with the momentum of a hard-thrown 0.410-kg.  football that has a speed of 25.0 m/s.​

• We need to find the magnitude of the momentum.
• So we have ρ = mv  
• Now to find the momentum of the player we have mass of player and speed
• So ρ player = 110 kg x 8 m/s
•                    = 880 kg – m/s
• Now to find the momentum of the ball we have mass of ball and speed
•    So ρ ball = 0.410 kg x 25 m/s
•                    = 10.25 kg-m/s
• Now comparing the player’s momentum to that of the ball we get
• So ρ player / ρ ball = 880 / 10.25
•                                  = 85.85
• So the momentum of the player is greater than the momentum of the ball.
• So if the player catches the ball the motion of the player is slightly affected.
