Thanks for the reply Simon!
My initial thought was that the momentum before collision will be (mass person + mass motorcycle) x velocity. Since the motorcycle comes to a stop, the momentum after collision will be equal to the momentum before collision but just the mass of the person x new...
I think this is a basic question, at least I would hope so.
If two identical motorcycles are going at the same speed but one has a lighter individual. If each individually collides with a stationary object and the driver is ejected. Who will go further and why?
Thank you very much Streamking! That's what I thought, so degrees are technically correct as long as they are included in the units. Just wanted to confirm that since I don't see it used anywhere.
I have a very basic questions about units for angular momentum.
The measure is in kg m^2/s
Angular velocity is in radians/s and therefore radians do not appear in the units.
Here is my question, can we leave this in degees/s? Sure its not used but is it wrong?
If we are dealing with...
