The speeds of a tortoise and a hare are ...

The speeds of a tortoise and a hare are `2 ms^(-1)` and `5 ms^(-1)`, respectively. The mass of the hare is 3 kg and that of the tortoise is 10 kg. Which of the two has greater momentum? (Assume speed of each to be steady.)

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the two animals, the tortoise or the hare, has greater momentum, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the formula for momentum Momentum (P) is defined as the product of mass (m) and velocity (v). The formula is given by: \[ P = m \times v \] ### Step 2: Identify the given values - Speed of the tortoise (v_t) = 2 m/s ...
