Calculate the change in the momentum of a 200,000kg Boeing 777 whose speed changes from 450 mph to 180 mph. Express your answer in SI, BG, and U.S. Customary units.
Based on unit considerations alone, show that the power needed to accelerate a car of mass m (in kg) from rest to velocity V (in m/s) in time interval t (in s) is proportional to mass and the square of the velocity of the car and inversely proportional to the time interval.
A person who is 180 cm tall and weighs 750 newtons is driving a car at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour over a distance of 80 kilometers. The outside air temperature is 30° C and has a density of 1.2 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3). Convert all of the values given in this example from SI units to U.S. Customary units.
