Consider a system to be one train car moving toward another train car at rest. When the train cars collide, the two cars stick together.

What is the total momentum of the system after the collision?

Yes I know but I would of liked him to answer =)

Before collision: M1 = 600kg, v1 = 4m/s | m2 = 400kg, v2 = 0m/s

My god XD

Rylee88 · Answer

The two Cars collided. SO there stuck together right

Rylee88 · Answer

Yes so there together

Rylee88 · Answer

So, it is a perfectly inelastic collision.

Rylee88 · Answer

The momentum of the system will remain conserved

DestructoGaming · Answer

What is the TOTAL momentum after collision?

Rylee88 · Answer

Yes I know lol

Rylee88 · Answer

Do YOU know how to get the Answer?

DestructoGaming · Answer

multiply m1 by v1 and m2 by v2

Rylee88 · Answer

What do you get?

DestructoGaming · Answer

2,400. Oooh. *snicker* Well, DUH.

Rylee88 · Answer

THEN Y U ASK XD
