Question

Consider the before- and after-collision momentum vectors in the diagram below. Determine the magnitude and direction of the system momentum before and after the collision and identify whether or not momentum is conserved. Finally, determine the magnitude and direction of the net external impulse encountered by the system during the collision. (Hint: Velocity and masses are give)

System Momentum Before Collision:	_________________________
System Momentum After Collision:	_________________________
Is momentum conserved?	_________________________
Net External Impulse During Collision:	_________________________

Before Collision
After Collision
v-1m/s
m= 4kg
Av=2m/s
v=1m/s
v=2m/s
m=2 kg
m=2 kg
m= 4kg

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

m₁ = 2kg, u₁ = 2 m/s , v₁ = 1 m/s

m₂ = 4 kg, u₂ = 1 m/s , v₂ = 2 m/s

Step 2

Formula used:

The momentum is given by

p = mass x velocity
