show mathematically why an 80,000 pound ( 36,000 kg ) big rig taveling 2 mph (0.89 m/s) has the SAME MOMENTUM as a 4,000 pound (1,800 kg) sport utility vehicle traveling 40 mph (18 m/s)

Respuesta :

The momentum value for both Big rig and sport utility vehicle are the same as 16000 pound mph

Explanation:

Given data are as follows  

For Big rig, Mass = 80,000 pound (36,000 kg)  

velocity = 2  mph (0.89 m/s)

where mph is meter per hour

For sport utility vehicle, Mass = 40,000 pound (1800 kg)

velocity = 40 mph (18 m/s)

The formula to find the Momentum of an object is

Momentum = Mass × Velocity (Kilogram meter per second)

Momentum for Big rig = 80,000 × 2 (pound mph)

 = 1,60,000 pound mph

Momentum for sport utility vehicle = 4000 × 40 (pound mph)

 = 1,60,000 pound mph  

Hence it is mathematically proved that  

The momentum of big rig = The momentum of sport utility vehicle

1,60,000 pound mph = 1,60,000 pound mph

The momentum of the big rip and the momentum of the sport utility vehicle is 160000 pound/mph. The momentum of both is same is proved mathematically.

What is conservation of momentum?

Momentum of a object is the force of speed of it in motion. Momentum of a moving body is the product of mass times velocity.

When the two objects collides, then the initial collision of the two body is equal to the final collision of two bodies by the law of conservation of momentum.

The mass of big rip is 80,000 pounds (36,000 kg) and the speed of big rip is 2 mph (0.89 m/s).

Thus the momentum of the big rip is,

[tex]M_1=80000\times2\\M_1=160000\rm pound/mph[/tex]

The mass of a sport utility vehicle is 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) and the speed of sport utility vehicle is 40 mph (18 m/s)

Thus the momentum of the sport utility vehicle is,

[tex]M_1=4000\times40\\M_1=160000\rm pound/mph[/tex]

Hence, the momentum of the big rip and the momentum of the sport utility vehicle is 160000 pound/mph. The momentum of both is same is proved mathematically.
