Two football players are running toward each other. One football player has a mass of 105 kg and is running at 8.6 m/s. The other player has a mass of 90 kg and is running at -9.0 m/s.

What is the momentum of the system after the football players collide?

A. 93 kg·m/s
B. 1,713 kg·m/s
C. 810 kg·m/s
D. 903 kg·m/s

Answer :

Answer:

Total momentum of both player after collision =93 Kg m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum

For an isolated system of bodies , momentum of bodies before and after collision remains same.

momentum is given by mass* velocity

_________________________________________

Here the isolated system of bodies are

two football players.

Momentum of player before collision

Momentum of player 1 = 105*8.6 = 903 Kg m/s

Momentum of player 2 = 90*-9 = -810 Kg m/s

Total momentum of both player before collision = 903 + (-810) = 93 Kg m/s

as by conservation of

Total momentum of both player before collision = Total momentum of both player after collision

Total momentum of both player after collision =93 Kg m/s

Answer:A is the Answer
