Two vehicles are approaching an intersection. One is a 2500-kg pick up travelling at 14.0 m/s from east to west ( the -x direction), and the other is a 1500-kg sedan going from north to south ( the + y direction) at 23.0 m/s. What is the x components of the net momentum for this system?
Momentum along the x-axis:
"p_x = m_{pickup}\u03c5_{pickup} \\\\\n\n= 2500 \\times (-14) \\\\\n\n= -35000 \\; kgm\/s"
