Answer:
Option A. 180000 Kgm/s.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
For Train Car A:
Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg
Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s
Momentum of train car A =?
For Train Car B:
Mass of train car B = 45000 Kg
Velocity of train car B = 0 m/s
Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
Momentum = mass × velocity
With the above formula, the momentum of train car A before collision can be obtained as follow:
Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg
Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s
Momentum of train car A =?
Momentum = mass × velocity
Momentum = 45000 × 4
Momentum of train car A = 180000 Kgm/s
