Two vehicles approach an intersection, a 2500kg pickup travels from E to W at 14.0m/s and a 1500kg car from S to N at 23.0m/s. Find P net of this system (direction and magnitude)

The magnitude of the momentum is 49145.19 kg.m/s

The direction of the two vehicles is 44.6° North West

Explanation:

Given;

speed of first vehicle, v₁ = 14 m/s (East to west)

mass of first vehicle, m₁ = 1500 kg

speed of second vehicle, v₂ = 23 m/s (South to North)

momentum of the first vehicle in x-direction (E to W is in negative x-direction)

momentum of the second vehicle in y-direction (S to N is in positive y-direction)

Magnitude of the momentum of the system;

Direction of the two vehicles;

North West
