Answer:

A) The smaller object; B) The larger object

Explanation:

A) Lets say the small object is 2 kg and the large one is 6 kg. Lets say they also have 30 kg*m/s of momentum each. The small object would have 15 m/s velocity and the large would have 5 m/s.

Now for kinetic energy(.5*m*v²), the small object is .5*2*15², which is 225 J

The large object is .5*6*5², which is 75 J, so the smaller object has more Kinetic energy. Since velocity is squared, it is more important than how large mass is.

B) Same masses as part A. Lets say the kinetic energy is 45 J for both of them. For the small object, 45=.5*2*v²

.5*2 is 1, so 45/1 is 45. Take the square root and we get v= 6.71 m/s

For the large object, 45=.5*6*v²

.5*6 is 3, so 45/3 is 15. Take the square root and we get v=3.87 m/s

Now we plug the velocities into p=mv

For the small object, p=2*6.71, which gives us p=13.42 kg*m/s

For the large object, p=6*3.87, which gives us p=23.22 kg*m/s

The larger object has the larger momentum.

Hope this helps

dayshawn is traveling at 12 m/s away from the school. dayshaun's mom is looking for him because he is late coming home so she le
vivado [14]

Speed of Dayshawn travelling towards his home is 12 m/s

Speed of her mom towards his school is 5 m/s

They both starts at same time so whenever they will meet on their path the sum of the distance covered by Dayshawn and distance covered by his mom must be equal to the total distance of school and home

Now let say they both meet after "t" time when they starts motion

so we can write the total distance between school and home as

d = v_1*t + v_2*t

here d = 6492 m

v_1 = 12 m/s = speed of dayshawn

v_2 = 5 m/s = speed of his mom

now by solving the above equation

6492 = 12t + 5 t

t = \frac{6492}{17}

t = 381.9 s

so they will meet after 381.9 s from start which will be 3.36 minutes from there start

Also at this time the distance covered by her mom will be

d_2 = v_2*t

d_2 = 5* 381.9 = 1909.4 m

so they will meet at distance 1909.4 m from their home
