Consider two cars that are on course for a head-on collision. If they have masses m1 = 1,300 kg and m2 = 1,800 kg and are both traveling at 34 m/s, what is the magnitude of the total momentum?

Answer:

105400kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.

Momentum = mass × velocity

Given

Masses m1 = 1,300 kg and m2 = 1,800

velocity = 34m/s

Magnitude of the total momentum = (m1+m2)v

Magnitude of the total momentum = (1300+1800)((34)

Magnitude of the total momentum = 3100(34)

Magnitude of the total momentum = 105400kgm/s
