Which has more momentum a 250 kg dolphin swimming at 6 meters per second or a 450 kg manatee swimming at 2 meters per second?

momentum = mass * velocity dolphin: 50kg*10.4m/s = 520 kg (m/s) elephant: 6300 kg * .11 m/s = 693 kg (m/s)
The elephant has more momentum because of its large mass, and will be harder to stop/ change its course.

∙ 7y agoMultiply mass x velocity in both cases.Note: This will actually give you the MAGNITUDE of the momentum. To get the actual momentum, you also need the speed; but for the purpose of this exercise, you can probably assume that both move in the same direction.

So 250*6 > 450*2 meaning....
The First dolphin!

momentum=mass*velocity
6300*0.11=630 /elephant
50*10.4=520/dolphin

What is si base unit for momentum?
The SI unit of Momentum is kilogram meters per second --> (kg*m)/s
What is the momentum of a 0.148 kg baseball thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second toward home plate?
Momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (0.148) x (35) = 5.18 kilogram meters per second
What is the momentum of a 25kg sheep traveling east at 10ms?
The sheep's momentum vector has a magnitude of 250 kilogram-meters per second,and a direction of east.
The momentum of a bowling ball decreases by 0.5 kg meters per second when it hits some pins How much momentum did the pins gain Explain?
0.5 kg m/s by the law of conservation of momentum
If a scooter has a mass of 20 kg and a velocity of 18 m's north what is the magnitude of its momentum?
Momentum = m V = 20 x 18 = 360 kgm-meters
Which has more momentum a 250 kilogram dolphin swimming at 4 miles per second or a 350 kilogram manatee swimming at 2 meters per second?
I think you mean the dolphin's velocity is 4 metres per second.In which case the dolphin's momentum will be 1000 kg.m/secThe manatee will have less momentum (700 kg.m/sec)Linear momentum = mass times velocity.By the way, 4 miles per second = 14,400 miles per hour.
How many meters is a dolphin?
A bottlenose dolphin is approximately 2.6-meters long, or 8.5 feet. The largest dolphin, the orca, can grow to lengths of more than 6 meters, or 20 feet.
Why does momentum have no designated SI unit name?
It does. Momentum=mass* velocity. Momentum is kilogram meters per second
Dolphin calves can grow up to how many meters?
8 meters
How many meters are in an olympic swimming pool?
There are usually 50 meters in a Olympic sized swimming pool.
Why would a competitive swimming pool be 33 meters long?
It wouldn't be. If you're swimming in meters the pool should be 50 meters, and I've seen them be 25 meters occasionally. If you're swimming in yards the pool would be 25 yards.
What is unit of angular momentum?
Angular momentum is defined as the cross product of a distance (from the axis of rotation) and a momentum, so you have to use units accordingly. In the SI, that would be meters x kilograms x meters / second, which you can simplify to meters squared x kilograms / second. This is equivalent to joules x seconds.
What dolphin is the smallest of the dolphin family?
the smallest species of dolphin is the Hector's Dolphin, being only 1.2-1.4 meters ling. it is also the rarest dolphin, living only on the coast of new zealand
Meters are in a swimming pool length?
in an olympic swimming pool its 50m
What is the momentum of a 5 kg object traveling at 4 meters a second?
Momentum = (mass ) x (velocity) = (5) x (4) = 20 kg-meters/sec in the direction of the velocity.
What is si base unit for momentum?
The SI unit of Momentum is kilogram meters per second --> (kg*m)/s
What is a swimming pool measured in?
The newer the pool, the higher the chance that it's measured in meters. Proffesional or school swimming pools are measured in yards or meters. The newer the pool, the higher the chance that it's measured in meters. Proffesional or school swimming pools are measured in yards or meters.
