Answer:
Option B: 9 kg.m/s North
Explanation:
We are told;
One player has a mass of
66 kg and is traveling at 1.5 m/s north.
Thus, velocity is positive since it's acting in the positive direction upwards.
Thus;
m1 = 66 kg
v1 = 1.5 m/s
Also, The other has a mass of 75 kg and is traveling at 1.2 m/s south.
Since it's traveling south, it means that velocity is negative. Thus;
m2 = 75 kg
v2 = -1.2 m/s
From conservation of mass, total momentum is;
m_total = m1•v1 + m2•v2
m_total = (66 × 1.5) + (75 × -1.2)
m_total = 99 - 90
m_total = 9 kg.m/s
This is positive and thus it will be in the direction of the north.
