Two vehicles are approaching an intersection. One is a 2300 kg pickup traveling at 13.0 m/s from east to west (the ?x- direction), and the other is a 1300 kg sedan going from south to north (the +y?direction at 21.0 m/s ).
Q1: Find the x -component of the net momentum of this system.
Q2: Find the y-component of the net momentum of this system.
Q3: What is the magnitude of the net momentum?
Q4: What is the direction of the net momentum?
We know that momentum is given by
---------------------------- Solution of part 1 -------------------------------
Find the x -component of the net momentum of this system
So X -component of net momentum of system is - 29900i
---------------------------- Solution of part 2 -------------------------------
Find the y -component of the net momentum of this system
So Y -component of net momentum of system is 27300j
---------------------------- Solution of part 3 -------------------------------
Find the magnitude of the net momentum of this system
------------------------ Solution of part 4 ------------------------------
direction of the net momentum
or direction of met momentum is 47.60 degree West to the North
as shown in rough fig.below.
