Answer:
Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s
Explanation:
Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.
Momentum A = 16 kgm/s
Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).
Total momentum = A + B
Total momentum = 16 + 0
Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
