A 100-kg football player runs with a velocity of 4.0 m/s straight down the field. A 1.0-kg

Question:

A 100-kg football player runs with a velocity of 4.0 m/s straight down the field. A 1.0-kg artillery shell leaves the barrel of a gun with a muzzle velocity of 500 m/s. Which has the greater momentum (magnitude), the football player or the shell?
THINKING IT THROUGH. Given the mass and velocity of an object, the magnitude of its momentum can be calculated from Equation 6.1. image text in transcribed
