Answer:
The magnitude of the momentum is 49145.19 kg.m/s
The direction of the two vehicles is 44.6° North West
Explanation:
Given;
speed of first vehicle, v₁ = 14 m/s (East to west)
mass of first vehicle, m₁ = 1500 kg
speed of second vehicle, v₂ = 23 m/s (South to North)
momentum of the first vehicle in x-direction (E to W is in negative x-direction)
momentum of the second vehicle in y-direction (S to N is in positive y-direction)
Magnitude of the momentum of the system;
Direction of the two vehicles;
North West
