Question

A 70.0Kg cyclist Rides a 15.0kg

Answer 1

Answer:

$1275 kg*m/s$

Explanation:

We'll use the momentum equation:

$p=mv$

where:

p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Since we're doing the magnitude of momentum of the system, we'll add the mass of the cyclist and the mountain bike together:

$70.0 kg + 15.0kg=85.0 kg$

Given that, we can now substitute our given values into the momentum equation:

$p=mv\\p=85.0kg*15.0m/s$

Our final answer is:

$p= 1275 kg*m/s$
