(a) The momentum of a moving object is given by:

where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. In this problem, the mass of the elephant is
and its speed is
, therefore its momentum is

(b) We can use the same formula to calculate the momentum of the tranquilizer dart, whose mass is
and whose speed is
:

we see that the elephant's momentum is much larger than the momentum of the dart.
(c) Again, using the same formula, the mass of the hunter is
, his speed is
, therefore his momentum is

Answer:
3.7 atm i.e., pressure doubles
Explanation:
P₁ = Initial pressure = 1.85 atm
P₂ = Final pressure
V₁ = Initial volume = 12.5 L
V₂ = Final volume = 0.5V₁
T = Temperature is constant
From ideal gas law
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

∴ Final pressure is 3.7 atm i.e., pressure doubles
Answer:
9.93 MPa
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of the man = 68.4 kg
- Deflection dx = 5.2 cm
- thickness of plank t = 2.0 cm
- width of plank w = 13.0 cm
- Length subtended L = 2.0 m
Find:
Shear Modulus of Elasticity S :
S = shear stress / shear strain
Shear stress = F / A
Shear stress = 68.4*9.81 / 0.02*0.13
Shear stress = 258078.4615 Pa
Shear strain = dx / L
Shear Strain = 0.052 / 2
Shear Strain = 0.026
Hence,
S = 258078.4615 / 0.026
S = 9.93 MPa
