Answer:
Team A has the greatest momentum
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is a vector quantity given by
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity
In this problem, we have to compare the momenta of the different sleds.
We have:
A) Sled Team A 48 kg moving at 10m/s:
m = 48 kg
v = 10 m/s
p = (48)(10) = 480 kg m/s
B) Sled Team B 14 kg moving at 18m/s
m = 14 kg
v = 18 m/s
p = (14)(18) = 252 kg m/s
C) Sled Team C 28 kg moving at 12m/s
m = 28 kg
v = 12 m/s
p = (28)(12) = 336 kg m/s
D) Sled Team D 22 kg moving at 12m/s
m = 22 kg
v = 12 m/s
p = (22)(12) = 264 kg m/s
So, team A has the greatest momentum.
