Question

One car is sitting still the other is moving at a velocity of 4m/s. If two cars have a mass of 0.04 kg run into each other, what is the momentum of the pared cars?

Answer 1

p = 0.16 kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

the initial momentum combined of the two cars and the final momentum of the paired cares are the same, so we just need to find the initial momentum

p = m1v1 + m2v2

p = 0.04*4 + 0.04*0

p = 0.04*4

p = 0.16 kgm/s
