Miles Tugo and Ben Travlun are riding in a bus at highway speed on a nice summer day when an unlucky bug splatters onto the windshield. Miles and Ben begin discussing the physics of the situation. Miles suggests that the momentum change of the bug is much greater than that of the bus. After all, argues Miles, there was no noticeable change in the speed of the bus compared to the obvious change in the speed of the bug. Ben disagrees entirely, arguing that that both bug and bus encounter the same force, momentum change, and impulse. Who do you agree with

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ben os ok. the moment of the bus and the worm are conserved

Explanation:

System formed by the bus and the worm, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and therefore the moment is conserved

initial instant. Airs of shock

        p₀ = My v₀

final instant. After the shock

        p_f = (M + m) v

the moment is preserved

        p₀ = p_f

        M v₀o = (M + m) v

       v = [tex]\frac{ M}{ M+m}[/tex]  v₀

       v = [tex]\frac{1}{1 +\frac{m}{M} }[/tex]  v₀

Let's analyze these equations the moment of the bus and the worm are conserved, therefore Ben is the one who is right. Let us propose the solution of the problem.

The person that I agree with based on their stance about the physics of the situation is; Ben Travlun

Conservation of Momentum

I will agree with Ben Travlun. The reason is that;

From the question, we see that the bug and the bus experience the same force, the same impulse, and the same momentum change.

Now, the concept of sameness above is not portrayed by Miles' statement because miles claims that the momentum change of the bug is much greater than the bus.

Now, though the bug has less mass and therefore more acceleration, the occupants of the very big bus will not feel the unusually small acceleration.

Finally, the bug is composed of a less strong material and as a result it will be scattered all over the windshield. However, this high level of the bug being scattered and the greater acceleration it possesses does not translate to greater force, impulse, or momentum change.
