Question

the speed of a tortoise and a hare are 1m/s and 3m/s. the mass of hare is 5kg and the tortoise is 20kg. which has greater momentum? WITH MATHEMATICAL EXPLANATION PLZ!!

Answer 1

The equations are both written in slope-intercept form, so I can see that the slope of one equation is 2 and the other is 8. If the slopes of lines are different, they will always intersect at a point.

Answer 2

Answer: tortoise

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Speed of tortoise = 1m/s

Speed of hare = 3m/s

Mass of hare = 5kg

Mass of tortoise = 20kg

Momentum = product of Mass and velocity

Momentum of hare = mass of hare × Velocity of hare

Momentum of hare = 5kg × 3m/s = 15kgm/s

Momentum of tortoise = mass of tortoise × Velocity of tortoise

Momentum of tortoise = 20kg × 1m/s = 20kgm/s

Therefore, tortoise has a greater momentum than hare.
