In a closed system, three objects have the following momentums: 110 kg⋅m/s, −65 kg⋅m/s, and −100 kg⋅m/s. The objects collide and move together. What is the total momentum after the collision?(1 point)

Question

Responses

275 kg⋅m/s
275 kilograms times meters per second

55 kg⋅m/s
55 kilograms times meters per second

−275 kg⋅m/s
negative 275 kilograms times meters per second

−55 kg⋅m/s

Answer 1

The total momentum after the collision can be found by summing the momentum of each object.

110 kg⋅m/s + (-65 kg⋅m/s) + (-100 kg⋅m/s) = -55 kg⋅m/s

Therefore, the total momentum after the collision is -55 kg⋅m/s.
