How can a heavy moving van have the same momentum as a small motorcycle?

Physics

Hello there!

The formula for momentum is p=mv.
p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

The mass of a heavy moving van will be much greater than the mass of a motorcycle, so how can they have the same momentum?

They can have the same momentum if the velocity of the moving van is less than the velocity of the motorcycle, or if the velocity of the motorcycle is greater than the moving van (same thing but differently worded)

Let the mass of the moving van be greater than the mass of the motorcycle by a factor of k. In order for the two to have the same momentum, the velocity of the motorcycle must be greater than the velocity of the moving van by the same factor, k.

Hope this helps! :)

Dovator [93]
John used smothering as the method to control the harmful invasive plants in his orchard. Smothering is an example of a manual method of control and it works best in a small population of invasive species. Smothering involves covering the invasive species with a barrier that is highly impenetrable for one growing season in order to prevent these species from thriving in the environment.

- What are (a) the x component, (b) the y component, and (c) the z component of r = a - b +c if a= 7.8 + 6.6 - 7.1 , b= -2.9 + 7
frez [133]

Answer:

Explanation:

a= 7.8i + 6.6j - 7.1k

b=   -2.9 i+ 7.4 j+ 3.9k , and

c = 7.6i + 8.8j + 2.2k

r = a - b +c

=7.8i + 6.6j - 7.1k - ( -2.9i + 7.4j+ 3.9k )+ ( 7.6i + 8.8j + 2.2k)

= 7.8i + 6.6j - 7.1k +2.9i - 7.4j- 3.9k )+  7.6i + 8.8j + 2.2k

= 18.3 i +18.3 j - k

the angle between r and the positive z axis.

cosθ = 18.3 / √18.3² +18.3² +1

the angle between r and the positive z axis.

= 18.3 / 25.75

cos θ= .71
