1.2 miles = 1,931 meters (rounded)

Momentum = M V

-- Momentum of the person = (37) x (1,931) = 71,447 kilogram-meters per second, south

-- Momentum of the bicycle = (18) x (1,931) = 35,758 kilogram-meters per second, south

-- Momentum of the package = (55) x (1,931) = 106,216.7 kg-m/sec , south

It must be mentioned that this is one heck of a lot of momentum . . . roughly

the same as a one-ton car has when it's driving 262 miles per hour !

That's because you have this 82-lb kid pedaling along on his bike at 4,320 mph . . .

roughly Mach 5.7 at sea level !

But the physics and math are bulletproof.

What is the momentum of a 37kg person riding south on an 18kg bicycle at 1.2 meters per sec?

Linear momentum is defined as mv, where m is the mass and v is the velocity. To get the mass, simply add up the 37kg person and the 18kg bicycle. This makes 55 kg total. We multiply this by 1.2 meters per second. This equals 66kgm/s(Kilogram meters per second).


When a person jumps from a tree to the ground what happens to the momentum of the person upon landing on the ground?

The momentum of the person is transferred to the ground upon landing. Initially, the person has momentum due to their motion in the air, and upon landing, this momentum is imparted to the ground as the person comes to a stop.
