Answer #1

a)

m1 = 2700 kg

v1i = 6 i - 14 j

m2 = 3200 kg

v2i = 15 i + 0 j

Total momentum of the two cars is given as

Pi = m1 v1i + m2 v2i

Pi = (2700)(6 i - 14 j) + (3200)(15 i + 0 j)

Pi = 16200 i - 37800 j + 48000 i + 0 j

Pi = 64200 i - 37800 j

b)

m1 = 2700 kg

v1i = 6 i - 14 j

v1f = 14 i - 6 j

m2 = 3200 kg

v2i​​​​​​​ = 15 i + 0 j

v2f = ?

Using conservation of momentum

Pi = m1 v1f + m2 v2f

64200 i - 37800 j = (2700) (14 i - 6 j) + (3200) v2f

64200 i - 37800 j = 37800 i - 16200 j + (3200) v2f

26400 i - 21600 j = (3200) v2f

v2f = 8.25 i - 6.75 j
