Question

An 950-kg motorcycle drives east at 12 m/s, and an 1840-kg car drives west at 8.0 m/s. Calculate the total momentum of this two-vehicle system, assuming east is the +x direction.
-2100 kg m/s
-3300 kg m/s
-4900 kg m/s
-5600 kg m/s

Answer 1

momentum is m*v, where v has direction

950*12-1840*8

-3300
