Question

The momentum of object 1 is (8.37,13.9) kg m/s. The momentum of object 2 is (32.7,12.39) kg m/s. Object 1 collides with object 2 and they stick together. What is the x-component of the final momentum in kg m/s after the collision if the net external force acting on the system is zero?

Answer 1

x = 41.07 kg m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is conserved so,

(8.37, 13.9) + (32.7,12.39) = (41.07, 26.29)
