Question

a) Rank the following objects from highest to lowest in terms of momentum. 1 being the object with the highest momentum and 5 the object with the lowest momentum.


1 2 3 4 5 a proton with a mass of 6.00 ·10-27 kg and a speed of 3.27 ·107 m/s
1 2 3 4 5 a 27.4-kg cannonball with a speed of 127 m/s
1 2 3 4 5 an asteroid with mass 106 kg and speed 424 m/s
1 2 3 4 5 a 114-kg linebacker with a speed of 10.2 m/s
1 2 3 4 5 a high-speed train with a mass of 132000 kg and a speed of 300 km/h


b) Rank the following objects from highest to lowest in terms of energy. 1 being the object with the highest energy and 5 the object with the lowest energy.



1 2 3 4 5 a high-speed train with a mass of 132000 kg and a speed of 300 km/h
1 2 3 4 5 a 114-kg linebacker with a speed of 10.2 m/s
1 2 3 4 5 an asteroid with mass 106 kg and speed 424 m/s
1 2 3 4 5 a 27.4-kg cannonball with a speed of 127 m/s
1 2 3 4 5 a proton with a mass of 6.00 ·10-27 kg and a speed of 3.27 ·108 m/s

Explanation / Answer

asteroid with mass 106Â kg and speed 424 m/s >>high-speed train with a mass of 132000 kg and a speed of 300 km/h>> 27.4-kg cannonball with a speed of 127 m/s>> 114-kg linebacker with a speed of 10.2 m/s >>proton with a mass of 6.00Â ·10-27Â kg and a speed of 3.27Â ·107Â m/s


b) an asteroid with mass 106Â kg and speed 424>>high-speed train with a mass of 132000 kg and a speed of 300 km/h>>27.4-kg cannonball with a speed of 127 m/s>>114-kg linebacker with a speed of 10.2 m/s>>proton with a mass of 6.00Â ·10-27Â kg and a speed of 3.27Â ·108
