If car A is 500 kg traveling at 5 m/s hits car B, 250 kg moving in the opposite direction at 2 m/s, what is the total momentum of the system after collision? If car A is 500 kg traveling at 5 m/s hits car B, 250 kg moving in the opposite direction at 2 m/s, assuming the cars stick together upon collision, how fast will they be going? A 100 kg cannonball is fired from a 1000 kg cannon at a speed of 5 m/s. How much momentum does the cannon have? A 100 kg cannonball is fired from a 1000 kg cannon at a speed of 5 m/s. What is the recoil velocity of the cannon?
