Grizzly bears are known to run really fast. What is the momentum of a grizzly bear (about 420 pounds) running at 17 m/s ? How fast should a 250 lb human run to match the momentum of the grizzly bear ?

A. Momentum of the grizzly bear is 3241.56 Kgm/s

B. The human will run at 28.56 m/s

Explanation:

A. Determination of the momentum of the grizzly bear.

Mass of grizzly bear = 420 lb

Velocity of grizzly bear = 17 m/s

momentum of the grizzly bear =?

Next, we shall convert 420 lb to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1 lb = 0.454 kg

Therefore,

420 lb = 420 lb × 0.454 Kg / 1 lb

420 lb = 190.68 Kg

Thus, 420 lb is equivalent to 190.68 Kg

Finally, we shall determine the momentum of the grizzly bear as follow:

Mass of grizzly bear = 190.68 Kg

Velocity of grizzly bear = 17 m/s

momentum of the grizzly bear =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 190.68 × 17

Momentum = 3241.56 Kgm/s

Thus, the momentum of the grizzly bear is 3241.56 Kgm/s

B. Determination of how fast the human will run.

Mass of human = 250 lb

Momentum of human = momentum of the grizzly bear

Momentum of the grizzly bear is 3241.56 Kgm/s

Momentum of human = 3241.56 Kgm/s

Velocity of human =?

Next, we shall convert 250 lb to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1 lb = 0.454 kg

Therefore,

250 lb = 250 lb × 0.454 Kg / 1 lb

250 lb = 113.5 Kg

Thus, 250 lb is equivalent to 113.5 Kg

Finally, we shall determine how fast the human will run as follow:

Mass of human = 113.5 Kg

Momentum of human = 3241.56 Kgm/s

Velocity of human =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

3241.56 = 113.5 × velocity

Divide both side by 113.5

Velocity = 3241.56 / 113.5

Velocity = 28.56 m/s

Therefore, the human will run at 28.56 m/s to match the momentum of the grizzly bear
