The momentum of an object is equivalent to the product of the object's mass and velocity. Computing the momentum for each ball:
A- 15 * 0.7 = 10.5
B- 5.5 * 1.2 = 6.6
C- 5.0 * 2.5 = 12.5
D- 1.5 * 5.0 = 7.5
Therefore, ball C has the greatest momentum.
25,000 Feet = 7620m
PE = mgh where m is mass, g is gravity accel: 9.8 n h is height
= 90 x 9.8 x 7620
= 6720840J
= 6.72MJ
F = ma where m is mass, a is accel = gravity = 9.8
= 90 x 9.8
= 882N
Accel = gravity = 9.8m/s^2
KE = 1/2mv^2 where m is mass n v is vel
if no wind resistance, PE leaving airplane = KE at net
6720840 = 1/2 x 90 x v^2
v^2 = 149352
v = 386.5m/s
Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .
Average acceleration = (13.2 - 6) / (6.32) = 7.2 / 6.32 = about <em>1.139... m/s²</em> .
