a 202 kg bumper car moving right at 8.50 m/s collides with a 355 kg car at rest. Find the total momentum of the system.

Explanation:It is given that,

Mass of bumper car, m₁ = 202 kg

Initial speed of the bumper car, u₁ = 8.5 m/s

Mass of the other car, m₂ = 355 kg

Initial velocity of the other car is 0 as it at rest, u₂ = 0

Final velocity of the other car after collision, v₂ = 5.8 m/s

Let p₁ is momentum of of 202 kg car, p₁ = m₁v₁

Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

p₁ = m₁v₁ = -342 kg-m/s

So, the momentum of the 202 kg car afterwards is 342 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.

the force represented by vector a is normal force. if the hockey puck is moving to the right, when it is hit with a significant force by the hockey stick the puck will move off in a different direction. correct on edge.
