Question: What is the difference in momentum between a 50.0 kg runner moving at a speed of 3.00 m/s and a 3000 kg truck moving at a speed of only 1.00 m/s?
The momentum of an object is calculated by the product of its mass and velocity. This is given by the formula: P = mv where P is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity. First, calculate the momentum of the runner: P_runner = m_runner * v_runner P_runner = 50.0 kg * 3.00 m/s P_runner = 150.0 kg·m/s Secondly, calculate the momentum of the truck: P_truck = m_truck * v_truck P_truck = 3000 kg * 1.00 m/s P_truck = 3000 kg·m/s The difference in momentum between the truck and the runner is: ΔP = |P_truck - P_runner| ΔP = |3000 kg·m/s - 150 kg·m/s| ΔP = 2850 kg·m/s So, the difference in momentum between the truck and the runner is 2850 kg·m/s.
