How does the momentum of a 75 kilogram stationary football player compare with a 70 kilogram player moving at a velocity of 6 meter/second

GPT 3.5
To compare the momentum of the two players, we need to calculate the momentum of each player. The momentum of an object is given by the formula:

Momentum = mass * velocity

For the 75 kilogram stationary football player, since he is stationary, his velocity is zero:

Momentum = 75 kg * 0 m/s = 0 kg*m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the 75 kilogram stationary player is zero.

For the 70 kilogram player moving at a velocity of 6 m/s:

Momentum = 70 kg * 6 m/s = 420 kg*m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the 70 kilogram player moving at a velocity of 6 m/s is 420 kg*m/s.

In conclusion, the momentum of the 70 kilogram player moving at a velocity of 6 m/s is greater than the momentum of the 75 kilogram stationary player.
