![### Momentum and Collisions
#### Problem Statement
A 4 kg object collides head-on with a 2 kg object, as depicted below.
#### Diagram
**Before the collision:**
- A 4 kg object (blue box) is moving to the right with a velocity of 15 m/s.
- A 2 kg object (orange box) is moving to the left with a velocity of 3 m/s.
**After the collision:**
- The two objects stick together and continue moving forward as a single mass.
- The combined mass after the collision is 6 kg (4 kg + 2 kg).
- The direction of this movement is to the right.
#### Questions
**A**: What is the final velocity of the two objects after the collision?
**Answer:**
\[ \text{Answer:} \_\_\_\_\_ \]
\[ \text{Unit:} \;\;\_\_\_\_\_ \]
**B**: What is the total momentum of the system before the collision?
**Answer:**
\[ \text{Answer:} \_\_\_\_\_ \]
\[ \text{Unit:} \;\;\_\_\_\_\_ \]
**Explanation of the Diagram**
The diagram consists of two parts: "before" and "after" the collision.
- The "before" part shows two boxes representing the 4 kg and 2 kg objects approaching each other.
- The "after" part shows the objects stuck together, moving as a single 6 kg object in the same direction.
The initial velocities and masses are crucial for solving the questions related to final velocity and total momentum.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F384bb2d8-4bfb-40a4-b5b5-cce563951ac9%2F7e1c0311-c59c-4e82-aef2-23b1d62166f4%2Ffvnya4_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
