What is the system linear momentum of a pair of identical 0.16 kg billiard balls if the first ball moves due east at 2.5 m/s and the second ball moves 30° due north of east at 3.1 m/s? Use East as 0° with rotation from east toward north as positive.
Lets consider east direction to be positive x-axis and north to be positive y-axis,
Now,
Linear momentum of the first ball is,
Linear momentum of the second ball is,
Linear momentum of the system is,
