Well if the ship was in space their shouldn’t be a loud bang. Because you can’t hear anything in space
Well you have to minus the 4.5 to 5.2 and the answer to that would be -11.5 and calculated that to be 4.5
Answer:
Total momentum, p = 21.24 kg-m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of first piece, 
Mass of the second piece, 
Speed of the first piece,
(along x axis)
Speed of the second piece,
(along y axis)
To find,
The total momentum of the two pieces.
Solve,
The total momentum of two pieces is equal to the sum of momentum along x axis and along y axis.






The net momentum is given by :


p = 21.24 kg-m/s
Therefore, the total momentum of the two pieces is 21.24 kg-m/s.
