Answer:
To identify the momentum of object 1, you must multiply mass (m) and velocity(v) to find momentum.
Object 1 has momentum of 8 kg. m/s before collision.
Object 1 has momentum of 0 kg. m/s before collision.
The combined mass after the collision had a total momentum of 8 kg. m/s.
Explanation:
Momentum of the object is given by,
Momentum = mass × velocity
For object 1:
Momentum = mass × velocity
Momentum = 2 × 4
Momentum = 8 kg. m/s
For object 2:
Momentum = mass × velocity
Momentum = 6 × 0
Momentum = 0 kg. m/s
For object 1 + object 2:
Momentum = mass × velocity
Momentum = 8 × 1
Momentum = 8 kg. m/s
To identify the momentum of object 1, you must multiply mass (m) and velocity(v) to find momentum.
Object 1 has momentum of 8 kg. m/s before collision.
Object 1 has momentum of 0 kg. m/s before collision.
The combined mass after the collision had a total momentum of 8 kg. m/s.
