a golf ball of mass 0.045 kg is moving in the +x direction with a speed of 9.0 m/s, and a baseball of mass 0.145 kg is moving in the -y direction with a speed of 7.0 m/s. What are the magnitude and direction if the total momentum of the system consisting of the two balls?

Answer 1

It is the resultant of the two perpendicular momentum vectors.

Answer 2

a golf ball of mass 0.045kg is moving in the +x-direction with a speed of 9.0m/s, and a baseball of mass 0.145kg is moving in the -y-direction with a speed of 7.0m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the momentum of the system consisting of the two balls.
