Is there ever a situation where an ant will have more momentum than an elephant? Explain why or why not?

Physics
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by:

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

We know that an elephant has a mass much larger than the mass of an ant. However, we see that the momentum of the animal also depends on its velocity.

If the elephant is at rest, its velocity is zero:

v = 0

so its momentum is also zero:

p = 0

And therefore, an ant which is moving (so, non-zero speed) can have more momentum than an elephant, if the elephant is at rest.

Olin [163]

Answer:

6.05 cm

Explanation:

The given equation is

2 aₓ(x-x₀)=( Vₓ²-V₀ₓ²)

The initial head velocity V₀ₓ =11 m/s

The final head velocity  Vₓ is 0

The accelerationis given by =1000 m/s²

the stopping distance = x-x₀=?

So we can wind the stopping distance by following formula

2 (-1000)(x-x₀)=[0^{2} -11^{2}]

x-x₀=6.05*10^{-2} m

       =6.05 cm

Given a force of 100 N and acceleration of 5 m/s2, what is the mass
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

20 kg

Explanation:

remember the equation f=ma.

100 N=force

5 m/s2= acceleration

so you need to divide force by acceleration: 100 N/ 5 m/s2= 20 kg, to get the mass.
