Two balls undergo inelastic collision. The y-momentum after the collision is 98 kilogram meters/second, and the x-momentum after the collision is 100 kilogram meters/second. What is the magnitude of the resultant momentum after the collision?

    P = √ [ (px) ^2 + (py) ^2]

    we know that px is 100 kg m/sec

    and we know that py is 98 m/sec

    So, to find out the momentum, you just need to insert the number into the equation

    p = √ (v1^2 + v2^2)

    p = √ (98^2 + 100^2)

    p = 140.01

    p = 1.4 x 10^2 k m/s
