If two people, mass of 70 kg and 85 kg respectively, approach each other with speeds of 4 m/s and 7 m/s, what is the total momentum of the two person system? Give the momentum of each and then the total momentum.

a. Momentum A = 280 Kgm/s.  

b. Momentum B = 595 Kgm/s.

c. Total momentum = 875 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

Let the two people be A and B respectively.

Given the following data;

Mass A = 70kg

Mass B = 85kg

Velocity A = 4m/s

Velocity B = 7m/s

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

a. To find the momentum of A;

Momentum A = 280 Kgm/s.

b. To find the momentum of B;

Momentum B = 595 Kgm/s.

c. To find the total momentum of the two persons;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Total momentum = 875 Kgm/s.

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
