Suppose you have two toy cars. Each has a mass of 0.04 kg . the cars have tape on their bumpers that will cost them to couple together. One car is stopped on the track. The other car, traveling at a velocity of 4 m/s, hits the first car. What is the momentum of the coupled cars? Explain you answer.

hi friend I will surely help u please mark my answer brainliest
Explanation:
Since the mass of both cars is .04 kg and the one car is hitting the first car at a velocity of 4 m/s, you would calculate the momentum of the cars by using the Law of Conservation of Momentum (Which states that the total momentum of a moving object remains constant when interacting with another object). To calculate momentum you would find the product of mass and velocity, which the problem states.
Equation:
The mass x The velocity = The Momentum
.04 kg x 4m/s = .16 (kg m/s)
Answer: .16 (kg m/s)
