A sports car of mass m has the same kinetic energy as an SUV with a mass 3m as each is driven along the same road. Which vehicle, if either, has the larger momentum and what is the difference in their momenta, if any

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy ( KE ) = 1/2 m v²

= m²v² / 2 m = p² / 2m where p is momentum

KE = p² / 2m

p² = 2m KE

KE is constant

p is proportional to mass

So car having higher mass will have higher momentum .

p₁ = √ ( 2 m x KE )

p₂ = √ ( 6 m x KE )

p₂ - p₁ =  √ ( 6 m x KE ) - √ ( 2 m x KE )

= √KE m ( √6 - √2 )

Kinetic energy ( K.E )

[tex]= \frac{1}{2} m v^2\\\\= \frac{m^2 v^2}{2 m} \\\\= \frac{p^2}{2m}[/tex]

where p is momentum

[tex]K.E =\frac{p^2}{2m}\\\\p^2 = 2m. KE[/tex]

KE is constant

p is proportional to mass

So car having higher mass will have higher momentum .  

[tex]p_1 =\sqrt{(2m*K.E)}\\\\p_2 = \sqrt{(6m*K.E)} \\\\p_2 - p_1 = \sqrt{(6m*K.E)} -\sqrt{(2M*K.E} \\\\p_2 - p_1 = \sqrt{K.E m(\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}) }[/tex]

The difference is shown above.
