Two air track carts move along an air track towards each other. Cart A has a mass of 450 g and moves toward the right with a spe

ed of 0.850 m/s and air track cart B has a mass of 300 g and moves toward the left with a speed of 1.12 m/s. What is the total momentum of the system?
A) 0.719 kg•m/s toward the right
B) 0.719 kg•m/s toward the left
C) 0.750 kg•m/s toward the right

Answer:

The right answer is D) the total momentum of the system is 0.047 kg · m/s toward the right.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The total momentum of the system is given by the sum of the momentum vectors of each cart. The momentum is calculated as follows:

p = m · v

Where:

p = momentum.

m = mass.

v = velocity.

Then, the momentum of the system will be the momentum of cart A plus the momentum of cart B (let´s consider the right as the positive direction):

mA · vA + mB · Vb

0.450 kg · 0.850 m/s + 0.300 kg · (- 1.12 m/s) = 0.047 kg · m/s

The right answer is D) the total momentum of the system is 0.047 kg · m/s toward the right.

The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>
