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.
