Question

If a ball is traveling north at a momentum of 25 kg m/s and hits another ball going south at a momentum of 15kg m/s, what will the total momentum of both balls be after a collision?
40 kg m/s
10 kg m/s
5 kgm/s
30 kgm/s

Answer 1

Answer:

First of all let's know What is Momentum:-

Momentum is the product of Mass and Velocity. Momentum is denoted by P.

Here,

mass= 5kg

velocity= 10 m/s

Now,

P=mv

=> P= (5 x 10) kg m/s

=> P= 50 kg m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

40 kg m/s

Explanation:

Because the the total momentum is equal to the sum of given momentum.

momentum= p

p=mv, massof an object=m, velocity(speed)=v

given:

• momentum1, P1= 25 kg m/s
• momentum2, P2= 15kg m/s

Del p= p1+p2

=25+15

=40

The SI unit of mass is kg and unit of velocity is m/s. Then the unit of momentum is kg m/s

Therefore 40kg m/s is the answer

all the best my good friend.......
