If one soccer ball is rolling to the right at 3 m/s and another soccer ball is rolling left with a speed of 5 m/s, how much momentum is there in this system before they collide with each other? Both have a mass of 1 KG​

Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/

Explanation:

  One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite  and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction

Initial momenta are        P₁=2x3=6kgm/s        P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s      

Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s

e) none of the above answers are correct

a displacement distance is size of displ
