Question

Two football players collide with a total momentum of 520 kg before the collision after the collision player ex has a momentum of 270 kg what is the momentum for player why after the collision what is the total momentum after the collision

Expert Solution
Step 1

According to law of conservation of linear momentum, total momentum before collision is equal to total momentum after collision.

Pinitial = Pfinal

Pinitial= P+ Py

Where, Pinitial is total initial momentum before collision

             Px is momentum of player x after collision

             Py is momentum of player y after collision
