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.

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.

What is the formula for calculating angular momentum in terms of kilogram meters squared per second?

The formula for calculating angular momentum in terms of kilogram meters squared per second is: Angular Momentum Mass x Velocity x Radius


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 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.
