C. Should be the answer it worked for me
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:
where
is the mass of the car
is its velocity
Substituting,
The momentum of the second car travelling south is given by:
where
is the mass of the car
is its velocity (negative because the car travels south)
Substituting,
And therefore, the combined momentum is
where the negative sign means the direction of the total momentum is south.

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:
A runner starts at point A, runs around a 1-mile track, and finishes the run back at point A. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The runner's displacement is 1 mile.
B. The runner's displacement is zero.
C. The distance the runner covered is zero.
D. The runner's speed was zero.
The answer to this question is B. The runner's displacement is zero
Explanation:
Displacement always implies a change of position; this means an object or individual moves from point A to point B, and therefore the original position is different from the final position. Additionally, in displacement, other related factors such as the total distance the body moved and the direction of movement. In the case presented, it can be concluded there was no displacement or the displacement is zero because even when the runner moved and ran two miles, he returned to the initial position, and without a change in the position, there is no displacement.
