The total momentum of the two cars before a collision is 100 KG M/S. What is the total momentum of the two cards after they collide?
0KG M/S
Momentum before = momentum after if there is no net force on system
(Newton ONE)
If they were both going at twenty right toward each other (opposite velocities with same mass)
momentum before = 20 * m - 20 * m = 0 = momentum after
I think that is what PsyDAG is assuming
To find the total momentum of the two cars after they collide, you need to know the individual masses and velocities of the cars before the collision, as well as any changes in velocities that occurred during the collision. However, since you only provided the total momentum before the collision, it is not possible to determine the total momentum after the collision without additional information.
Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity, so in order to find the momentum after the collision, you would need to know the mass and velocity of each car individually, as well as any changes in velocity that occurred during the collision. Without this information, we cannot calculate the total momentum after the collision.
