Question

A 2.0 kg ball moving east ward at 3.0 m/s suddenly collides with and sticks to a 4.0 kg ball moving northward at 2.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of the momentum of this system just after the collision?​

Answer 1

A 2.0 kg ball moving east ward at 3.0 m/s suddenly collides with and sticks to a 4.0 kg ball moving northward at 2.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of the momentum of this system just after the collision?

A 2.0 kg ball moving east ward at 3.0 m/s suddenly collides with and sticks to a 4.0 kg ball moving northward at 2.0 m/s .

_________________

For ball 1 :

m1 = 2 kg

V2 = 3m/sec

For ball 2 :

m2 = 4 kg

V2 = 2m/sec

___________

Formula used :

P1 = m1v1

P1 = 6 kg

P2 = m2v2

P2 = 8 kg
