An empty 12,954 kg railroad car, traveling at a speed of 28 m/s strikes a partially filled 17,616 kg railroad car moving in the same direction at a speed of 5 m/s. What is the total momentum of the two railroad cars AFTER the collision?

Respuesta :

Answer:

450792 kgm/s

Explanation:

by conservation of momentum,

total momentum AFTER collision = total momentum BEFORE collision

                                                       =mv+m'v'

                                                       =12954×28+17616×5

                                                       =450792 kgm/s

good job
