Question
What is the total momentum of a system of three objects with masses 2 kg, 3 kg, and 5 kg, moving at velocities of 4 m/s, -2 m/s, and 3 m/s, respectively?*1 point0 kg m/s9 kg m/s
Solution
The total momentum of a system is calculated by adding up the momentum of each individual object. The momentum of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass by its velocity.
For the first object: Momentum = mass * velocity = 2 kg * 4 m/s = 8 kg m/s
For the second object: Momentum = mass * velocity = 3 kg * -2 m/s = -6 kg m/s
For the third object: Momentum = mass * velocity = 5 kg * 3 m/s = 15 kg m/s
Now, add up these momenta to get the total momentum of the system:
Total momentum = 8 kg m/s - 6 kg m/s + 15 kg m/s = 17 kg m/s
So, the total momentum of the system is 17 kg m/s.
