Right before the collision, Toy car A had a velocity of 6.0 m/s to the right, and the toy car has had a velocity of 18 m/s to the left.When asked about the total momentum of the objects, Amy says that the total momentum is 80 kg m/s since the two momenta are added. But, Lisa believes that since momentum is a vector and the toy cars are going in different directions, they are to be subtracted. Which student is correct?

Toy car A, with a mass of 4.0 kg, has a direct collision with toy car B, with a mass of 2.0 kg. Right before the collision, Toy car A had a velocity of 6.0 m/s to the right, and the toy car has had a velocity of 18 m/s to the left.

When asked about the total momentum of the objects, Amy says that the total momentum is 80 kg m/s since the two momenta are added. But, Lisa believes that since momentum is a vector and the toy cars are going in different directions, they are to be subtracted. Which student is correct? Explain.
Now let us assume that the toy cars stick together after the collision. What is the magnitude and direction of the momentum of the system right after the collision? and what is its velocity?
