QUESTION:
A 1500-kg blue convertible is traveling south, and a 2000-kg red SUV is traveling west. If the total momentum of the system consisting of the two cars is 7200 kg · m/s directed at 60.0° west of south, what is the speed of each vehicle?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The total momentum is, \(P=7200 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) towards \(60^{\circ}\) west of north.
The two masses are, \(m_{1}=1500 \mathrm{~kg}\) and \(m_{2}=2000 \mathrm{~kg}\).
