Answer to Problem 1CQ
Solution:The desired order of momenta is
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
Momenta (p) = mass of the object (m)
Given:
Different mass blocks moving with different velocities are given. Just by multiplying the mass of the object with their velocities will give the momenta of the object.
Figure.1
Calculation:
So, let’s first calculate the momentum of each block.
Momenta of block ‘a’
Momenta of block ‘b’
Momenta of block ‘c’
Momenta of block ‘d’
Momenta of block ‘e’
In the above calculation, we find that the block b has the highest momentum, block a, c and e have the same momenta that is
Conclusion:
By the calculation, momenta for each block has been calculated and it has been arranged in the order from largest to smallest as follows.
