Before Collision Consider a system to be one train car moving toward another train car at rest When the train cars collide, the two cars stick together What is the total momentum of the system after the collision? O 800 kg . m/s m, = 600 kg V,= 4 m/s m = 400 kg v2 = 0 m/s 1,600 kg. m/s 0 2,400 kg • m/s 0 4,000 kg . m/s After Collision ​

Answer:

2,400kg * m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

You are missing some information in the question but the rest could be found some where else.

The question gives the masses and starting velocity of each car.

Car 1: m = 600kg and sv = 4m/s

Car 2: m 400kg and sv = 0m/s

Find the momentum of both cars.

Car 1: 600 * 4 = 2400

Car 2: 400 * 0 = 0

Add both.

2400 + 0 = 2400

Best of Luck!
