The momentum of the bumper car after the collision is 1,040 kgm/s.

Momentum of bumper

The change in momentum of the bumper is calculated as follows;

P = v(m1 + m2)

P = 8(55 + 75)

P = 1,040 kgm/s

The momentum of the bumper car after the collision is 1,040 kgm/s.

The direction is still the same.
