A 50 kg tricycle travelling 6 m/s east and another tricycle with the same mass moving to the west at 3 m/s collided. Suppose the
collision did not damage any of the vehicles but caused the tricycles to move to the west at 3 m/s and to the east at 6 m/s, respectively.
Prove the law of conservation of momentum in this scenario.
Given:
The law of conservation of the momentum says
Thus, the momentum of the system is conserved.
