How do these rank in momentum 1 being least and the most 5
Fast car, stopped truck, slow car, Fast baseball, Fast feather
I have 1. Stopped truck
To determine the ranking of these objects based on momentum, we need to consider their mass and velocity. The equation for momentum is p = m * v, where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity.
Let's analyze each object one by one:
1. Stopped truck: A stopped truck has zero velocity, so its momentum will be zero regardless of its mass. Therefore, it would rank at the lowest momentum level.
2. Slow car: Since the velocity of the slow car is given as "slow," we can assume it has a lower velocity compared to the other fast objects. However, without specific values for mass and velocity, we cannot determine its exact momentum ranking relative to the others.
3. Fast car: The fast car's momentum will depend on its mass and its speed. Without information on either of these factors, we cannot assess its specific momentum ranking.
4. Fast baseball: Again, without information on the mass and velocity of the fast baseball, we cannot determine its ranking in terms of momentum.
5. Fast feather: Like the previous objects, we require information about the mass and velocity of the fast feather to determine its momentum ranking.
In summary, based on the information provided, we can only rank the stopped truck at the lowest momentum level (1) due to its zero velocity. The rankings for the other objects cannot be determined without additional information.
