8. Jax bounced a dodgeball off a wall. The dodgeball has a momentum of 32.6 kg · m/s after the

collision. What is the total momentum of the system before the collision?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]32.6\ \text{kg m/s}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]p_f[/tex] = Final momentum of the system = [tex]32.6\ \text{kg m/s}[/tex]

According to the principle of conservation of angular momentum we have

[tex]p_i=p_f\\\Rightarrow p_i=32.6\ \text{kg m/s}[/tex]

The wall is not moving so the initial and final momentum of the system are equal.

So, the total momentum of the system before the collision is [tex]32.6\ \text{kg m/s}[/tex].
