A car has 10,800 kg m/s of momentum as it collides with a trash dumpster AT REST. How much TOTAL MOMENTUM will the car and dumpster have after collision?

10800 kg m/s

Explanation:

Since the dumpster was initially at rest, its momentum before collision equal to zero. So that the total momentum of the car and dumpster before collision is 10800 kg m/s.

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that: in a system of colliding bodies, total momentum is conserved. Therefore, the total momentum of the car and dumpster after collision is 10800 kg m/s.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
