Answer:
Momentum is the product of a moving object's mass and velocity . ... When two objects collide the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision (in the absence of external forces). This is the law of conservation of momentum. It is true for all collisions.
Explanation:
A = distance traveled by steve in north direction by train = 30 miles
B = distance traveled by steve in east direction by train = 25 miles
R = resultant displacement of the steve relative to starting position
using pythagorean theorem
R = √(A² + B²)
inserting the values
R = √(30² + 25²)
R = 39.05 miles
direction : tan⁻¹(B/A) = tan⁻¹(25/30) = 39.8 deg east of north
