Question

Object A is moving due east, while object B is moving due north. They collide and stick together in a completely inelastic collision. Momentum is conserved. Object A has a mass of mA = 17.5 kg and an initial velocity of vector v0A = 8.23 m/s, due east. Object B, however, has a mass of mB = 29.1 kg and an initial velocity of vector v0B = 5.28 m/s, due north. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the total momentum of the two-object system after the collision.

Explanation / Answer

momentum is conserved so Pf=Pi

Pf=mava+mbvb
