Question

At what speed do a bicycle and its rider, with a combined mass of 100 kg, have the same momentum as a 1500 kg car traveling at 1.6 m/s ?

Answer 1

The speed of the object of mass 100kg is equal to 24m/s.

To calculate the moment of an object it is necessary to use the value of the mass and the velocity of the object, so that:

                                           $Q = m \times v$

Thus, equating the moments of the two objects presented by the question, we have the following expression:

                                     $1500 \times 1.6 = 100 \times v$

                                            $v = \frac{2400}{100}$

                                           $v = 24m/s$

So, the speed of the object of mass 100 kg is equal to 24 m/s.
