To calculate the total momentum of the system after the collision, we need to add up the momenta of both objects.
The momentum of an object is given by the product of its mass and velocity.
Object 1 has a mass of 5 kg and a velocity of 5.4 m/s. Therefore, its momentum is:
(5 kg) * (5.4 m/s) = 27 kg-m/s
Object 2 has a mass of 12 kg and a velocity of -3.5 m/s (since it is moving in the opposite direction). Therefore, its momentum is:
(12 kg) * (-3.5 m/s) = -42 kg-m/s
Adding up the momenta of both objects, we get:
27 kg-m/s + (-42 kg-m/s) = -15 kg-m/s
Therefore, the total momentum of the system after the collision is -15 kg-m/s.

this is wrong

Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the momentum correctly.
The momentum of an object is given by the product of its mass and velocity.
Object 1 has a mass of 5 kg and a velocity of 5.4 m/s. Therefore, its momentum is:
(5 kg) * (5.4 m/s) = 27 kg-m/s
Object 2 has a mass of 12 kg and a velocity of -3.5 m/s (since it is moving in the opposite direction). Therefore, its momentum is:
(12 kg) * (-3.5 m/s) = -42 kg-m/s (note the velocity is negative)
Adding up the momenta of both objects, we get:
27 kg-m/s + (-42 kg-m/s) = -15 kg-m/s
Therefore, the total momentum of the system after the collision is -15 kg-m/s.
