An 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s collides (perfectly inelastic) with a 50 kg object initially at rest.
1 answer:
Answer:
Option C. 5,000 kg m/s
Explanation:
<u>Linear Momentum on a System of Particles </u>
Is defined as the sum of the momenta of each particles in a determined moment. The individual momentum is the product of the mass of the particle by its speed
P=mv
The question refers to an 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s who collides with another object of 50 kg object initially at rest. We compute the moments of each object
The sum of the momenta of both objects prior to the collision is
