Question

A 5.9-kg object is moving to the right at 2.2 m/s just before it strikes and sticks to a 2.0-kg object initially at rest. What is the total momentum of the two objects after the collision, in the unit kg m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

according to law of conservation of momentum .

both Momentum are same.

Explanation:

momentum of A = momentum of a

(P = M*V) = (P = M*V)

5.9*2.2 = 2V

12.98 = 2V

V = 12.98/2

V = 6.4

momentum of A = a = 12.98

Answer 2

The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows. For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.
