Calculate the momentum of a 1950 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s. (b) compare the elephant's momentum with that of a 0.0400 kg bullet fired at a speed of 600 m/s. (c) what is the momentum of the 90.0 kg hunter running at 8.00 m/s after missing the elephant?

a) (momentum of the elephant), p1 = 14625 kg×m/s

b) p1 = 609.4×p2

c) (momentum of the hunter), p3 = 720 kg×m/s.

Explanation:

a) if m = 1950 kg is the mass of the elephant and V = 7.50 m/s be the speed of the elephant, then the momentum is given by:

p1 = m×V = (1950)×(7.50) = 14625 kg×m/s

b) if m = 0.0400 kg is the mass of the bullet and v = 600 m/s be the speed of the bullet, then the momentum of the bullet is given by:

p2 = m×v = (0.0400)×(600) = 24 kg.m/s

then:

p1/p2 = (14625)/(24) = 609.4

that is, p1 = 609.4×p2

Therefore, the momentum of the elephant is 609.4 times the momentum of the bullet.

c) the momentum og the hunter after missing the elephant is given by:

p3 = m×v = (90.0)×(8) = 720 kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the hunter is 720 kg×m/s.

dec 23, 2016 - a load of bricks weighing 680 n a distance of 10 m across a parking lot. if if the worker pushes the cart with a constant force of 209 n, what work= force x distance = 220 n x 10 m = 2200 n.m = 2200 j i don't know where the person got it from, but the initial part, work= force x distance me.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
