Two carts collide and bounce apart. Cart 1 had a momentum of –6 kg • m/s before the collision. Cart 2 had a momentum of 10 kg • m/s before the collision.

What is the total momentum of the carts after the collision?

–16 kg • m/s
–10 kg • m/s
4 kg • m/s
10 kg • m/s

4 kg • m/s

Momentum is conserved in the collision, so total after = total before = (−6) + 10 = 4 kg·m/s.
