According to Timothy Treadwell in 2001 "Now, the bears I live with average, the males are on average twelve hundred pounds. They're the largest bears in the world and they've been clocked at 41 [mph] and they've run a hundred meter dash in 5.85 seconds which human on stimulants doesn't even approach. a. Compute the speed of a grizzly bear using Mr. Treadwell's hundred-meter statement. b. Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in part a. and the average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell. c. How fast would a 250 lb man have to run to have the same momentum you calculated in part b? d. How fast would a 4000 lb car have to drive to have the same momentum you calculated in part b?

What is 71 mph in terms of m/s? 1.000 mile = 1609 m. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

Caleb left home and traveled toward the city A at an average speed of 57.9 km/h. Some time later, Kim left traveling in the opposite direction with an average speed of 46 km/h. After Caleb has traveled for 1.24 hours they were 117 km apart. Find the number of minutes Kim traveled. Round off only on the final answer expressed in three decimal places. PLEASE SHOW YOUR COMPLETE AND CORRECT SOLUTION. ASAP! Thank you.
