A blue lab cart is traveling west on a track when it collides with and sticks to a red lab cart traveling east. The magnitude of the momentum of the blue cart before the collision is 2. 0 kilogram • meters per second, and the magnitude of the momentum of the red cart before the collision is 3. 0 kilogram • meters per second. The magnitude of the total momentum of the two carts after the collision is.

The magnitude of the total momentum of the two carts after the collision is 5.0kgm/s

Collision and law of momentum

The law of momentum states that the sum of momentum before the collision is equal to the sum of the momentum of the body after the collision.

From the information given:

  • The magnitude of the momentum of the blue cart before the collision = 2.0kgm/s
  • The magnitude of the momentum of the red cart before the collision = 3.0kgm/s

The  magnitude of the total momentum of the two carts after the collision is expressed as:

Total momentum = 2.0kgm/s + 3.0kgm/s

Total momentum = 5.0kgm/s

Hence the magnitude of the total momentum of the two carts after the collision is 5.0kgm/s
