Football Player Position Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s) Tight End 90 6 Fullback 110 5 Lineman 120 3 The game is on the line and it's your job to pick one football player to give the ball to run for the winning touchdown. You do not want the opposing team to stop him, therefore, you want the one with the largest momentum. Which player would you pick? Momentum = mass times velocity Question 3 options: Fullback Tight End Lineman
they give you the formula momentum = mass*velocity so you just have to multiply mass*velocity for each of the three players and choose the largest momentum
what
if you read the problem, you will notice that each of the three players (tight end, fullback, and lineman) are each given a mass and velocity. the question is asking you to find which one has the greatest momentum. therefore, multiply mass*velocity for each of the three players, and select the one with the greatest momentum.
