Answer:
A. Momentum of the grizzly bear is 3241.56 Kgm/s
B. The human will run at 28.56 m/s
Explanation:
A. Determination of the momentum of the grizzly bear.
Mass of grizzly bear = 420 lb
Velocity of grizzly bear = 17 m/s
momentum of the grizzly bear =?
Next, we shall convert 420 lb to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:
1 lb = 0.454 kg
Therefore,
420 lb = 420 lb × 0.454 Kg / 1 lb
420 lb = 190.68 Kg
Thus, 420 lb is equivalent to 190.68 Kg
Finally, we shall determine the momentum of the grizzly bear as follow:
Mass of grizzly bear = 190.68 Kg
Velocity of grizzly bear = 17 m/s
momentum of the grizzly bear =?
Momentum = mass × velocity
Momentum = 190.68 × 17
Momentum = 3241.56 Kgm/s
Thus, the momentum of the grizzly bear is 3241.56 Kgm/s
B. Determination of how fast the human will run.
Mass of human = 250 lb
Momentum of human = momentum of the grizzly bear
Momentum of the grizzly bear is 3241.56 Kgm/s
Momentum of human = 3241.56 Kgm/s
Velocity of human =?
Next, we shall convert 250 lb to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:
1 lb = 0.454 kg
Therefore,
250 lb = 250 lb × 0.454 Kg / 1 lb
250 lb = 113.5 Kg
Thus, 250 lb is equivalent to 113.5 Kg
Finally, we shall determine how fast the human will run as follow:
Mass of human = 113.5 Kg
Momentum of human = 3241.56 Kgm/s
Velocity of human =?
Momentum = mass × velocity
3241.56 = 113.5 × velocity
Divide both side by 113.5
Velocity = 3241.56 / 113.5
Velocity = 28.56 m/s
Therefore, the human will run at 28.56 m/s to match the momentum of the grizzly bear
