The momentum of object 1 is (5.37,15.7) kg m/s. The momentum of object 2 is (17,21.44) kg m/s. Object 1 collides with object 2 and they stick together. What is the x-component of the final momentum in kg m/s after the collision if the net external force acting on the system is zero? Assume 3 significant figures in your final answer.

Question 5
The momentum of object 1 is (5.37,15.7) kg m/s. The momentum of object 2 is
(17,21.44) kg m/s. Object 1 collides with object 2 and they stick together.
What is the x-component of the final momentum in kg m/s after the collision if the
net external force acting on the system is zero?
Assume 3 significant figures in your final answer.
21.1
Oops. Since the net force acting on the system is zero, the momentum of
the system is conserved.
• Pf = Pi
• Pf = P1i+P2i
• This equation is true for each component of the momentum.
