Answer:
The change in momentum is
[tex] - 600kg.m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Greetings!!!
To determine Mr. Tatto's change in momentum, we use the formula:
Change in momentum = Final momentum - Initial momentum
Given:
- Mass of Mr. Tatto (m) = 110 kg
- Initial velocity of Mr. Tatto (u) = 6 m/s
- Final velocity of Mr. Tatto (v) = 0 m/s (since he stops)
First, calculate the initial momentum (P_initial) using the formula:
Initial momentum = Mass × Initial velocity
= m × u
Plugging in the values:
Initial momentum = 110 kg × 6 m/s
= 660 kg·m/s
Now, calculate the final momentum (P_final) using the same formula:
Final momentum = Mass × Final velocity
= m × v
Plugging in the values:
Final momentum = 110 kg × 0 m/s
= 0 kg·m/s
Now, find the change in momentum:
Change in momentum = Final momentum - Initial momentum
= P_final - P_initial
= 0 kg·m/s - 660 kg·m/s
= -660 kg·m/s
So, Mr. Tatto's change in momentum is -660 kg·m/s. The negative sign indicates that the direction of the change in momentum is opposite to the initial momentum, which means he's stopped, hence the reversal in momentum.
