1. An 8-kilogram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. If its momentum is 16 kg•m/s, how fast is it traveling?
momentum = mass x velocity 16 = 8 x velocity velocity = 2 m/s
2.A beach ball is rolling in a straight line toward you at a speed of 0.5 m/sec. Its momentum is 0.25 kg•m/s. What is the mass of the beach ball?
momentum = mass x velocity 0.25 = m x 0.5 mass = 0.5 kg
3.A 4,000-kilogram truck travels in a straight line at 10.0 m/s. What is its momentum? Momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (4,000) x (10) = 40,000 kilogram-meters/second
4.A 1,400-kilogram car is also traveling in a straight line. Its momentum is equal to that of the truck in the previous question. What is the velocity of the car?
40,000 kilogram-meters/second = 1400 x velocity velocity = 28.6 m/s
5.Which would take more force to stop in 10 seconds: an 8.0-kilogram ball rolling in a straight line at a speed of 0.2 m/s or a 4.0-kilogram ball rolling along the same path at a speed of 1.0 m/s?
F1 = 8 x 0.2 / 10 = 0.16 N F2 = 4 x 1.0 / 10 = 0.4 N ----> take more force
6.The momentum of a car traveling in a straight line at 20 m/s is 24,500 kg•m/s. What is the car’s mass?
24500 = mass x 20 mass = 1225 kg
7.Another pitcher throws the same baseball in a straight line. Its momentum is 2.1 kg•m/s. What is the velocity of the ball?
2.1 = 0.5 x velocity velocity = 4.2 m/s
8 A 1-kilogram turtle crawls in a straight line at a speed of 0.01 m/s. What is the turtle’s momentum?
he type of vegetation growing in the buffer affects its usefulness to wildlife through the availability of food, foraging and nesting sites, and other habitat needs (Johnson and Beck 1988). The more diverse the habitat, the greater its utility to many species of animals.
