A football kick returner catches the ball just as a player from the opposing team dives to tackle him. At the time of impact, the returner’s momentum is 0 kg-m/s, and the diving player’s momentum is 130 kg-m/s. What will the magnitude of the total momentum be just after the collision?(1 point) Responses 260 kg-m/s 260 kg-m/s 65 kg-m/s 65 kg-m/s 0 kg-m/s 0 kg-m/s 130 kg-m/s 130 kg-m/s
The magnitude of the total momentum just after the collision will be 130 kg-m/s.
this is right
Yes, the correct answer is 130 kg-m/s.
To find the magnitude of the total momentum just after the collision, we need to add the momentum of the returner and the diving player.
The returner's momentum is given as 0 kg-m/s, which means his momentum before the collision is 0 kg-m/s.
The diving player's momentum is given as 130 kg-m/s.
To find the total momentum after the collision, we simply add these two momenta together:
Total momentum = returner's momentum + diving player's momentum
= 0 kg-m/s + 130 kg-m/s
= 130 kg-m/s
So, the magnitude of the total momentum just after the collision is 130 kg-m/s.
Therefore, the correct answer is 130 kg-m/s.
