To train cars with the same mass of 30,000 kg are traveling in the same direction when they collide train car it has a velocity 10 and train car B has a velocity of five what is there a total momentum after the collision

Expert Solution
Step 1

Momentum P of an object with mass m and moving with a velocity is equal to the product of the mass and the velocity. Mathematically it is written as 

P=mV            (1)

So the total momentum of the two vehicles after they collide is equal to the sum of their individual momentum after the collision.
