Two soccer players run toward each other. one player has a mass of 85 kg and runs west with a speed of 8 m/s, while the other has a mass of 105 kg and runs east with a speed of 7 m/s. what is the total momentum of the system made up of the two players?

Total momentum, p = 55 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of player 1, m₁ = 85 kg

Mass of player 2, m₂ = 105 kg

Speed of player 1, v₁ = -8 m/s (west)

Speed of player 2, v₂ = 7 m/s (east)

Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity. For this system, momentum is given by :

p = 55 kg-m/s

The total momentum of the system made up of the two players is 55 kg-m/s.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
