a 15.00 kg ball moving at 2.34 m/s to the right strikes a 12.00 kg ball moving -3.45 m/s to the left. what is the total momentum of the 2 balls



Answer :

Answer:

-6.30 kg m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity. The total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums.

p = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

p = (15.00 kg) (2.34 m/s) + (12.00 kg) (-3.45 m/s)

p = -6.30 kg m/s
