The equation for momentum is p = mv where p is the omentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. Calculating the momentum for each football player, player A will have a momentum of 1050 lb-mi/h and player B will have a momentum of 570 lb-mi/h. Therefore, momentum of player A is greater than that of player B.

Answer:

the momentum of player A is greater than player B.

Therefore, Option 2 is correct.

Step-by-Step explanation:

We have been given the velocity of the players and mass of the players.

Player A:

Velocity is 5m/hr

Mass 210 pounds

Player B:

Velocity is 3m/hr

Mass 190 pounds

We have a formula for momentum:

p=mv

p is momentum

m is mass

v is velocity

We will  find momentums for both the players:

Momentum of player A:

on substituting the values we get:

p=210\cdot 5=1050 pounds  

Momentum of player B:

on substituting the values we get:

p=190\cdot 3=570 pounds  

Hence, the momentum of player A is greater than player B.

Therefore, Option 2 is correct.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

k=\frac {F}{x}

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m
