When an object with a momentum of 80 kg by meters per second collides with an object with a momentum of negative 100 kg times meters per second the total momentum after the collision is?

We have to assume that both bodies are initially moving along the same straight line
in opposite directions, so the collision is "head on".
We also have to assume that the collision is "elastic", meaning that none of the
original kinetic energy is lost to heat.
The final momentum is 20 Kg-m/s in the direction opposite to the original 80 kg-m/s motion.

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object traveling at 4 meters a second?
Momentum = (mass ) x (velocity) = (5) x (4) = 20 kg-meters/sec in the direction of the velocity.
What is the momentum of a 0.145 kg softball traveling at 10 meters per second?
momentum = mass times velocity momentum = .145 x 10 = 1.45 kg-m/sec
What is the momentum of a 100 kg football player running at a speed of 4 meters per second?
The formula is...momentum=velocity x massSo...momentum= 4m/s x 100kgmomentum= 400 kg m/s
What is the momentum of a 45 kilogram bike going 7.6 meters per second?
Momentum = m V = 45 x 7.6 = 342 kg-m/sec
What are the units you use for measuring a moment?
If you mean a brief moment of time: seconds.If you mean momentum: this is mass x velocity, so the units are kg x meters / secondsIf you mean a brief moment of time: seconds.If you mean momentum: this is mass x velocity, so the units are kg x meters / secondsIf you mean a brief moment of time: seconds.If you mean momentum: this is mass x velocity, so the units are kg x meters / secondsIf you mean a brief moment of time: seconds.If you mean momentum: this is mass x velocity, so the units are kg x meters / seconds
Which is A student weighing 45kg runs down a slope and suddenly jumps with a speed of 3 m s onto a stationary skateboard The student and the skateboard move with a velocity of 2.7 m s What is the mass?
This can be modeled as a "collision" where momentum is conserved. Momentum equals mass times velocity (p = mv).Let's call the momentum of the student before the collision ps0 and the momentum of the skateboard before the collision pb0. Let's call the momentums after the collision ps1 and bs1.Since momentum is conserved, ps0 + pb0 = ps1 + bs1. Plugging the numbers for the momentum gives us:(45)(3) + (m)(0) = (45)(2.7) + (2.7)(m), where m is the mass of the skateboard.Simplified:135 = 2.7m + 121.513.5 = 2.7mm = 5So the mass of the skateboard is 5 kg.(Note that the units are all in kilograms, meters, and seconds they call match up in the calculations.)
What is the velocity of a 9000 kg railroad car and a 5000 kg railroad car when the first car was traveling at 3 m per s?
Momentum is mass multiplied by velocity. The formula for momentum is: p (momentum)= m (kg ) x v (meters/second). So in this case, the mass is 9000 kg and the velocity is 3 m/s, so its momentum is 27000 kg-m/s, or N-s.
Why does momentum have no designated SI unit name?
It does. Momentum=mass* velocity. Momentum is kilogram meters per second
A 3000kg truck runs into the rear of a 1000 kg car that was stationary the truck and car are locked together after the collision and move together at nine meters per second What was the trucks speed?
Using the equation for conservation of momentum you can workk out the initial speed of the first truck which was 12 meters per second.
What is unit of angular momentum?
Angular momentum is defined as the cross product of a distance (from the axis of rotation) and a momentum, so you have to use units accordingly. In the SI, that would be meters x kilograms x meters / second, which you can simplify to meters squared x kilograms / second. This is equivalent to joules x seconds.
What is the momentum of a 5 kg object traveling at 4 meters a second?
Momentum = (mass ) x (velocity) = (5) x (4) = 20 kg-meters/sec in the direction of the velocity.
