Answer:
Explanation:
Their total momentum must have a magnitude between zero and the sum of the magnitudes of their individual momenta.
This means from The equation, zero is less than or equal to the magnitude of vector p sub x which is less than the quantity of the magnitude of vector p sub 1 plus the magnitude of the vector p sub 2.
