Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Mass = 10kg
Velocity = 2m/s
Required
Calculate the momentum of the man
Momentum is calculated as thus
or
So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;
The formula becomes
Hence, the momentum of the man is

Explanation:
<u>Elastic Potential Energy
</u>
Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.
Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.
Solving for Δx:
Substituting:
Calculating:
Answer: The ball (option A)
Explanation: change in momentum is defined by the formulae m(v - u) where m = mass of object, v = final velocity and u = initial velocity.
For the ball, it hits the ground and bounces back with the same speed, that's final velocity equals initials (v = - u)
Change in momentum = m( -u- u) = m(-2u) = m(-2u) = -2mu
For the clay, it final velocity is zero since it sticks to the floor, hence (v =0)
m(v - u) = m(0 - u) = - mu.
-2mu (change in momentum from the ball) is greater than - mu ( change in momentum of clay)
