The total momentum of a truck of mass 5000 kg that is moving at a speed of 20 m/s and a car of mass 500 kg that is moving at a speed of 10 m/s us kg m/s. *Don't put units on your answer*
Blank 1:
75000
To calculate the total momentum of the truck and the car, we first need to find the momentum of each vehicle separately using the formula:
Momentum = mass × velocity
For the truck:
Mass of the truck = 5000 kg
Velocity of the truck = 20 m/s
Momentum of the truck = 5000 kg × 20 m/s = 100,000 kg m/s
For the car:
Mass of the car = 500 kg
Velocity of the car = 10 m/s
Momentum of the car = 500 kg × 10 m/s = 5000 kg m/s
Now, to find the total momentum, we add the individual momenta of the truck and the car together:
Total momentum = Momentum of the truck + Momentum of the car
Total momentum = 100,000 kg m/s + 5000 kg m/s
Adding these two momenta gives us a total momentum of 105,000 kg m/s. So, the answer for Blank 1 is 105000.
Blank 1: To find the total momentum of the truck and car, we need to calculate the individual momenta of each object and then add them together.
The momentum of an object is given by the formula:
Momentum = mass × velocity
For the truck:
Mass of the truck = 5000 kg
Velocity of the truck = 20 m/s
Momentum of the truck = 5000 kg × 20 m/s = 100000 kg m/s
For the car:
Mass of the car = 500 kg
Velocity of the car = 10 m/s
Momentum of the car = 500 kg × 10 m/s = 5000 kg m/s
Now, to find the total momentum, we add the individual momenta together:
Total momentum = 100000 kg m/s + 5000 kg m/s = 105000 kg m/s
