Problem

Object P of mass

4.0\,\text{kg}

moves north at

6.0\,\text{m/s}

. Object Q of mass

2.0\,\text{kg}

moves east at

8.0\,\text{m/s}

. Ignoring all external forces, what is the magnitude of the total linear momentum of the two-object system? a)

4.8\times10^{1}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m/s}

3.4\times10^{1}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m/s}

2.9\times10^{1}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m/s}

4.0\times10^{1}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m/s}
