A 1,000 kg car is travelling at 6.5 m/s to the North. A 3,500 kg truck is travelling South at the same velocity. What is the total momentum of the two vehicles (don’t forget to assign a NEGATIVE velocity to one of the vehicles, because they are travelling in opposite directions please help asap

Total momentum of both is 16250 kgm/s

16250 kg*m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

p1=1000 x -6.5= -6500 kg*m/s

p2= 3500 x 6.5= 22750 kg*m/s

-6500 + 22750= 16250 kg*m/s

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.
