<span>Even though the Sun has a greater mass than Earth, the Moon orbits Earth because it's closer to the Earth than to the Sun. Because of this proximity between the Earth and the Moon, the Earth has a stronger gravitational pull than the Sun does. Furthermore, the Earth's mass is 81 times that of the Moon, and so at this proximity, it is more than able to overpower what pull the Sun exerts on the Moon.</span>

Two cars collide at an intersection. One car has a mass of 1600 kg and is
pickupchik [31]

The combined momentum is 4000 kg m/s south

Explanation:

The total combined momentum of the two cars is given by the vector addition of the momenta of the two cars.

For this problem, we choose north as positive direction and south as negative direction.

The momentum of the first car travelling north is given by:

p_1 = m_1 v_1

where

m_1 = 1600 kg is the mass of the car

v_1 = +8 m/s is its velocity

Substituting,

p_1 = (1600)(8)=+12800 kg m/s

The momentum of the second car travelling south is given by:

p_2 = m_2 v_2

where

m_2 = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

v_2= -12 m/s is its velocity (negative because the car travels south)

Substituting,

p_2 = (1400)(-12)=-16800 kg m/s

And therefore, the combined momentum is

p=p_1 + p_2 = +12800 + (-16800)=-4000 kg m/s

where the negative sign means the direction of the total momentum is south.
