Many people have some sense for the SI units describing mass, length, and time. one kilogram is roughly the mass of a typical sports water bottle (when full) one meter is roughly the height of a kitchen counter one second is a typical time interval between heartbeats (when at rest) But the momentum unit we just learned—the "kilogram meter per second"—is another matter! How many kg · m/s might describe the following everyday phenomena? (Recall that momentum equals the product of mass and velocity.) a 0.05 kg (50-gram) tennis ball crossing the court at 20 m/s (about 45 mph) _____________ kg · m/s a 50 kg (110-pound) teenager jogging at 2 m/s about 4 1 2 mph . _______________kg · m/s a two-ton SUV (2,000 kg) following a dirt road at 5 m/s (about 11 mph). ________________kg · m/s

Earth's neighboring galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, is a distance of 2.54 × 107 light-years from Earth. If the lifetime of a human is taken to be 85.0 years, a spaceship would need to achieve some minimum speed Umin to deliver a living human being to this galaxy. How close to the speed of light would this minimum speed be? Express your answer as the difference between Umin and the speed of light c. C- Umin = m/s
