Total momentum after the collision: +200 kg m/s to the right
Explanation:
We can answer this question by using the law of conservation of momentum, which states that for an isolated system (=no external forces acting on the system), the total momentum is conserved.
Mathematically,
where
is the total momentum before the collision
is the total momentum after the collision
In this problem, the system consists of two hockey players. Before the collision, their total momentum is
(to the right)
Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum, their total momentum after the collision must be the same:
And given that the sign is +, the direction is still the same, therefore to the right.
