Answer:
[tex]P=\sqrt{2}\ kg.m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that
For the first ball ,linear momentum P₁ = 1 kg.m/s (Horizontal)
For the second ball ,linear momentum P₂ = 1 kg.m/s ( vertically)
Lets take balls are moving in the x-y plane
As we know that linear momentum is a vector quantity
P₁ = 1 i kg.m/s
P₂ = 1 j kg.m/s
There combine linear momentum
P= P₁ + P₂
P = 1 i + 1 j kg.m/s
The magnitude of the linear momentum P
[tex]P=\sqrt{1^2+1^2}\ kg.m/s[/tex]
[tex]P=\sqrt{2}\ kg.m/s[/tex]
Answer:
The magnitude of their combined momentum would be 1.41 kg m/s
Explanation:
I'm not sure why that is just the correct answer. Sorry.
