Acar with two people traveling down the road has a mass of 100 kg and a velocity of 5 m/s. the car pulls over and picks up two people. the mass of the car is now 150 kg. what is the new momentum if the velocity stays the same?

New_momentum = 750 [kg.m/s]

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as

M  = mass* velocity

Original momentum

M_old = 100 Kg * 5 m/s = 500 [kg.m/s]

If the car pulls over and picks up two people. The mass of the car is now 150 kg, but the velocity stays the same.

New momentum

M_new = 150 Kg * 5 m/s = 750 [kg.m/s]

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day

force required to detach it is given by

charges are taken to be fundamental charge

now we have

so above is the minimum distance at which it will detach
