9)Which has more momentum? A .1 kg toy truck moving at 1012 m/s or a real 2200 kg truck moving at .046 m/s?

Question

The real truck since it has more mass

10)A 120 kg football player tries to dive into the endzone at 7.5 m/s to score a touchdown. A 150 kg player dives out of the endzone into the other player at 5 m/s to try and stop him. They collide at the goalline and the tackler holds on to the player diving into the endzone. Does the player score a touchdown or not?

I'm gonna go with yes

Answer 1

Momentum is M*V. Are you aware of that? Have you done the numbers?

The toy truck's momentum is 101.2 kg m/s

The real truck's momentum is 101.2 kg m/s

They are the same.

As for the football question, explain why you chose "touchdown".

Answer 2

b/c the 120 guy is going faster

Answer 3

yes I did the numbers how did you get:
The toy truck's momentum is 101.2 kg m/s

The real truck's momentum is 101.2 kg m/s

Answer 4

The MOMENTUM of the runner, 120*7.5 = 900 kg m/s, exceeds the momentum of the tsacker in the opposite direction, 50*150 = 750 kg m/s
The net momentum will carry then forward when they are "stuck" together at the goal line.

Answer 5

Momentum is M V. I multiplied M times V.

Answer 6

tsacker = tackler

Answer 7

so they both stop exactly at the goalline or he scores? from what you said he scores

Answer 8

I did the wrong numbers. I changed it to Newtons

Answer 9

I said "The net momentum will carry then forward when they are "stuck" together at the goal line."

Forward means across the goal line. Yes, it's a touchdown.
