Answer:
- 1,500 kg.m/s
Explanation:
First, arrange the information in a table:
Object Mass (kg) Velocity (m/s)
A 200 15
B 150 - 10
After the collision, the two objects are stick together, thus you talk aobut one object and one momentum.
According to the law of convervation of momentum, the momentum after the collision is equal to the momentum before the collision.
Momentum before the collision, P₁:
[tex]P_1=m_{A,1}\times v_{A,1}+m_{B,1}\times v_{B,1}[/tex]
[tex]P_1=200kg\times 15m/s+150kg\times (-10m/s)\\\\ P_1=3000kg.m/s-1500kg.m/s=1500kg.m/s[/tex]
Momentum after the collision:
- As stated, it es equal to the momentum before the collision: 1,500 kg . m/s
