Question

A clay ball (mass = 0.25kg) has a rightward momentum of +1.75 kg∙m/s. A second clay ball (mass = 0.25 kg) has a leftward momentum of -1.75 kg∙m/s. The two collide, stick together, and come to a complete stop after the collision.

What was the total momentum after the collision?

Expert Solution

Introduction:

It is given that, the mass of both the balls are same, and has a value of $m = 0.25 kg$ , but the first ball has a rightward momentum of $p_{1} = 1.75 kg . m / s$ , and the second ball has a leftward momentum of $p_{2} = - 1.75 kg . m / s$ . The balls collide and stick together. After the collision, the system come to a complete stop.

It is required to find the total momentum after the collision.

It is known that, the momentum is the multiplication of mass of a body and the velocity of the same body.
