Two groups of canoeists meet in the middle of a lake. after a brief visit, a person in canoe 1 pushes on canoe 2 with a force of 46 n to separate the canoes. if the mass of canoe 1 and its occupants is 130 kg, and the mass of canoe 2 and its occupants is 250 kg, find the momentum of each canoe after 1.20 s of pushing.

Momentum of canoe 1 is 55.12 kgm/s

Momentum of canoe 2 is 55.12 kgm/s

Explanation:

From Newton's Third law the force acting on both canoe's is 46 N

F = 46 N

F = ma

The acceleration of canoe 1 is 0.354 m/s²

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 0

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration

The acceleration of canoe 2 is 0.184 m/s²

The velocity of canoe 1 is 0.424 m/s

The velocity of canoe 2 is 0.2208 m/s

Momentum

p = mv

Momentum of canoe 1 is 55.12 kgm/s

Momentum of canoe 2 is 55.12 kgm/s

heat the gas and measure the pressure
