Find the momentum of each vehicle prior to the collision

Reference no: EM13516623

A 4958-kg truck traveling with a velocity of 18.7 m/s due east collides head-on with a 1695-kg car traveling with a velocity of 11.9 m/s due west. The two vehicles stick together after the collision.

a) What is the momentum of each vehicle prior to the collision?

b) What is the total momentum (magnitude and direction) of the two vehicles after they collide?
