a 61,000-kg rocky mountain double big rig is traveling at 0.5 m/s. about what velocity must a 730-kg compact electric vehicle have to achieve the same amount of momentum as the rocky mountain double?

Respuesta :

Electric vehicle have to achieve the same amount of momentum as the rocky is 41.78 m/s.

We are given that,

Mass of mountain = M = 61000kg

velocity = V = 0.5m/s

As momentum is defined as the sum of an object's mass and velocity, it is represented as p=mv, where p stands for momentum, m for mass, and v for velocity.

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the starting and final momentum should add up to the same amount. As a result, in this instance, MV=mu, where M and m represent the masses of 61 000 kg and 730 kg, respectively, while v and u are the velocities of the masses.

u = MV/m

Putting the values from the above we get,

u = (61000kg)(0.5m/s)/730kg

u = 41.78 m/s

Therefore, Electric vehicle have to achieve the same amount of momentum as the rocky would be 41.78 m/s.
