Mrs. Fatima has a a small sports car that she uses to drop her kids off from school that has a mass of 5000 kg. Mr. Zaid drives a truck with a mass of 4200 kg. If the two vehicles are travelling down the road, side by side, at a speed of 75 km/hr, which one will have the most momentum? Explain *

Respuesta :

[tex]\textbf{Use equation of momentum}[/tex]

[tex]p=mv[/tex]

[tex]\text{momentum\ =\ mass x velocity}[/tex]

[tex]\textbf{Substitute in the values}[/tex]

[tex]5000 \times 75 = 375,000 \text{\ kg\ km/hr}[/tex]

[tex]4200 \times 75 = 315,000 \text{\ kg\ km/hr}[/tex]

[tex]\textbf{The\ small\ sports\ car\ will\ have\ the\ most\ momentum.}[/tex]
