First of all, a football player who's moving at 7 miles per second has more to worry

about than his momentum. That's 25,200 miles an hour, and if somebody doesn't

grab him, and his helmet doesn't burst into flame from the atmospheric friction,

he's going to leave the end-zone and go into low-earth orbit.

But we'll just do the math.

Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

which is easy enough, but we have to make sure that all the units are in the same

system. Right now they're not, so we have to remember to convert that "7 miles"

into meters.

Momentum = (100 kg) x (7 mi/sec) x (1,609.344 meter/mile) = 1,126,540.8 kg-m/sec

That's roughly the same momentum as a 28-ton truck moving at 100 mph.

What is the momentum of a 100 kg football player running at a speed of 4 meters per second?

The formula is...momentum=velocity x massSo...momentum= 4m/s x 100kgmomentum= 400 kg m/s


What is the mass of an object moving at 4 miles a second that has the same momentum?

4 miles per second is 6437.376m per second. Momentum is mass x velocity so mass = momentum ÷ velocity mass = momentum ÷ 6437.376 Of course, if you had given us the whole question it would have helped.


Which has more momentum a football player who weighs 120 kg running at 4 meters per second or a player who weighs 102 kg running at 5 meters per second?

The player who weighs 120 kg running at 4 meters per second has more momentum than the player who weighs 102 kg running at 5 meters per second. Momentum is calculated as mass multiplied by velocity, so the higher mass of the first player compensates for the lower velocity compared to the second player.


When moving freight car collides with an identical one that is at rest. If momentum is conserved what happens to the second car after the collision?

If momentum is conserved, the second car will start moving in the opposite direction with the same speed and momentum as the first car after the collision. This is due to the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant before and after a collision.


Which if either has greater momentum a 1 kg ball moving at 2 meters per second or a 2 kg ball moving at 1 meters per second?

Momentum = (mass) x (speed) (1 x 2) = (2 x 1). Their momenta are equal.


What is the momentum of a 0.1kg mass moving with a speed of 5 meters per second?

Momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (0.1) x (5) = 0.5 kilogram-meter per second


What is the momentum of a 8 kilogram cart moving with a speed of 12 meters per second?

The momentum of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass and velocity. In this case, the momentum of the 8 kg cart moving at 12 m/s would be 96 kg*m/s.
