Question
Momentum Logic Puzzle Six shoppers - Jeri, Mike, Celeste, Victor, Javier, and Rachel - won a contest at their local horme improvement store. The winners get to run through the store and load whatever they can into their cart in ten minutes. Given the information and clues below, calculate each cart's momentum as the shoppers cross the finish line. The six carts had masses of 65 kg, 80 kg, 110 kg, 40 kg, 50 kg, and 75 kg. The velocities of the shoppers as they crossed the finish line were 3 m/s, 5 m/s, 4.2 m/s, 2 m/s, 2.5 m/s, 3.4 m/s 1. Jeri did not have the slowest velocity 2. Rachel's cart had a mass greater than Celeste's but less than Mike's 3. Rachel's momentum was 2 kgm/s less than Jeri's momentum 4. Celeste's momentum was 10 kgm/s greater than Mike's 5. Rachel had a greater velocity than Javier 6. Javier's cart had more mass than Rachel's 7. Jeri's cart had more mass than Victor's and Celeste's combined 8. Victor's cart had less mass than Celeste's 9. Javier's cart was at least 25 kg heavier than Victor's 10. Rachel's cart was heavier than both Victor's and Celeste's 11. The person with the slowest velocity also had the lightest cart 12. Mike's velocity was greater than Jeri's but less than Javier's 13. Celeste's velocity was greater then both Mike and Rachel 14. Jeri's velocity was more than 2 m/s slower than Celeste's
