Sagot :

Answer:  140,000

Explanation:

You simply add both of the momentums.

([tex]m_{1}[/tex] x [tex]v_{1}[/tex]) + ([tex]m_{2}[/tex] x [tex]v_{2}[/tex])

[tex]m_{1}[/tex] = 4,000kg

[tex]v_{1}[/tex] = 25m/s

[tex]m_{2}[/tex] = 2,000kg

[tex]v_{2}[/tex] = 20m/s

(4,000kg x 25m/s)  + (2,000kg x 20m/s)

               (100,000) + (40,000)   =   140,000
