2) Two students are running in a cross country race. One has a mass of 60 kg, while the other has a mass of 70 kg. If they are both running with a speed of 7 m/s, which has more momentum? Why?​

The second student with mass 70kg has more momentum

Explanation:

Using the formula:

p = m × v

Where;

p = momentum (kgm/s)

m = mass (kg)

v = velocity (m/s)

According to this question, two students are running in a cross country race.

Student 1 has the following; m = 60kg, v = 7m/s

Student 2 has the following; m = 70kg, v = 7m/s

Using p = mv

Student 1, p = 60 × 7 = 420 kgm/s

Student 2, p = 70 × 7 = 490 kgm/s

From the result of the above calculations, student 2 with mass 70kg has more momentum.

answer: c.
