Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass of child = 23 kg
Mass of bike = 5.5 kg
Velocity = 4.5 m/s
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
To find the momentum of each of them;
I. Momentum of the child
Momentum C = mass * velocity
Momentum C = 23 * 4.5
Momentum C = 103.5 Kgm/s
II. Momentum of the bike
Momentum B = mass * velocity
Momentum B = 5.5 * 4.5
Momentum B = 24.75 Kgm/s
Hence, we can deduce from the calculations that the momentum of the child is greater than that of the bike because of the higher mass possessed by the child.
