Problem

Block A of mass

1.5\,\text{kg}

slides northward at

12\,\text{m/s}

on a smooth horizontal surface, while Block B of mass

2.0\,\text{kg}

slides eastward at

54\,\text{km/h}

. What is the magnitude of the total momentum of the two-block system? a)

48\,\text{kg\,m\,s}^{-1}

35\,\text{kg\,m\,s}^{-1}

12\,\text{kg\,m\,s}^{-1}

34\,\text{kg\,m\,s}^{-1}
