A 3-kg ball traveling to the right with a speed of 4 m/s overtook and collided with a 4-kg ball traveling in the same direction with a speed of 2 m/s. The total momentum after the collision was ____ kg·m/s to the right.
Added by Cynthia T.
Step 1
Initial momentum of the 3-kg ball = mass x velocity Initial momentum = 3 kg x 4 m/s = 12 kg·m/s to the right Show more…

A 3 -kg ball traveling to the right with a speed of $4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ collides with a 4 -kg ball traveling to the left with a speed of $3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} .$ What is the total momentum of the two balls before and after the collision?
A 2kg ball moving at 4 m/s to the right gets into an inelastic collision with a 3 kg ball at rest. Determine the speed of both objects after the collision.
