Question

Which one has more momentum a car of 500 kg moving with 126 km/h or a bus of mass 1500 kg moving with 10 m/s.

Answer 1

Answer:

CAR HAS MORE MOMENTUM THAN BUS

Explanation:

WE ALL KNOW THAT MOMENTUM IS THE PRODUCT OF MASS AND VELOCITY

THEREFORE........

MASS OF CAR = 500 KG

VELOCITY OF CAR = 126km/hour

but the velocity of bus is in m/s........ therefore we have to multiply 126 with 1000 divided by 3600.......then it will change to m/s.........the answer comes "35m/s"

now simply multiply 35 with 500

then it comes 17500 kgm/s

therefore momentum of car is 17500 kgm/s

NOW........

in the bus

MASS OF BUS= 1500KG

VELOCITY OF BUS = 10M/S

THEREFORE........... MULTIPLY MASS OF BUS WITH THE VELOCITY............IT COMES 15000 KGM/S

THUS MOMENTUM OF CAR IS MORE THAN BUS

PLEASE GIVE A THANKS........HAVE A NICE DAY AHEAD
