Answer:
Explanation:
We'll use the momentum equation:
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:
Given that, we can now substitute our given values into the momentum equation:
Our final answer is:
Answer:
They will hit the ground at the same time.
Explanation:
By ignoring the opposing forces i.e. air resistant, both the heavy and light balls will fall with same acceleration due to gravity (g=9.8 m/s²) and g is independent of mass of the objects. Thus both will hit the ground at the same time.
To get x on its own, you times the 3 over to the other side so the 3 cancels out on the LHS.
~ x greater than or equal to -18
