A 1,000 kg car is travelling at 6.5 m/s to the North. A 3,500 kg truck is travelling South at the same velocity. What is the total momentum of the two vehicles (don’t forget to assign a NEGATIVE velocity to one of the vehicles, because they are travelling in opposite directions)

Answer:

16250 kgm/s due south

Explanation:

Applying,

M = mv................. Equation 1

Where M = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity.

From the car,

Given: m = 1000 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M = 1000(6.5)

M = 6500 kgm/s

For the truck,

Given: m = 3500 kg, v = 6.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

M' = 3500(6.5)

M' = 22750 kgm/s.

Assuming South to be negative direction,

From the question,

Total momentum of the two vehicles = (6500-22750)

Total momentum of the two vehicles = -16250 kgm/s

Hence the total momentum of the two vehicles is 16250 kgm/s due south
