Question

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time - when they're not sleeping or eating - joyfully scampering about on the cage's floor. Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as 0.0237 kg, 0.0235 kg, 0.0191 kg, and 0.0233 kg. At this very instant the x and y components of the mice's velocities are, respectively, (0.619 m/s, -0.357 m/s), (-0.319 m/s, -0.837 m/s), (0.351 m/s, 0.795 m/s), and (-0.669 m/s, 0.933 m/s). Calculate the x and y components of Bryce's mice's total momentum, px and py.

Explanation / Answer

px=mvxtotal

=mvx1+mvx2+mvx3+mvx4

all the values of masses and their resprctive x components are given

putting these values we can find px

similarly,

we can find py
