Which of the following has the greatest momentum? * (20 Points)
tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s
hare with a mass of 2.7 kg moving at a velocity of 7 m/s
turtle with a mass of 91 kg moving at a velocity of 1.4 m/s
roadrunner with a mass of 1.8 kg moving at a velocity of 6.7 m/s

Tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above,

(1) tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s

Mometum = mass×velocity

Momentum = 270×0.5

Momentum = 135 kgm/s

(2) hare with a mass of 2.7 kg moving at a velocity of 7 m/s

Mementum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 2.7×7

Momentum = 18.9 kgm/s

(3) turtle with a mass of 91 kg moving at a velocity of 1.4 m/s

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 91×1.4

Momentum = 127.4 kgm/s

(4) roadrunner with a mass of 1.8 kg moving at a velocity of 6.7 m/s

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 1.8×6.7

Momentum = 12.06 kgm/s

From the above, the one with the greatest momentum is tortoise with a mass of 270 kg moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s

f=ma a/f/m a= 480/60 a = 8m/s/s that is quick wow
