one object is traveling northeast with a momentum of 12 kg-m/s, while a second object is traveling southwest on the same path as the first object with a momentum of 4 kg-m/s. when the two objects collide, they stick together. what is the momentum after their collision?(1 point)

Respuesta :

The  objects collide together where one object is exerting force on the other in equal and opposite magnitude. When they stuck together, their final momentum will be the sum of initial of momentum  of each object. Thus, the final momentum after collision will be 16 kg m/s.

What is momentum?

Momentum is a physical quantity which is equal to the  product of mass and velocity of the object. Hence, for a stationary body, the there will be no momentum.

During collision, the total momentum is conserved. Thus, the sum of initial momentum of the colliding objects is equal to the final momentum of the combined mass.

The momentum of object 1 = 12 Kg m/s

object 2 = 4 kg m/s.

Thus, total initial momentum  = final momentum = 12 + 4 = 16 Kg m/s.

Therefore, the final momentum after collision is 16 Kg m/s.
