text: Therefore, the final momentum of the first object would be negative and might be calculated by multiplying a large mass times a small velocity; the final momentum of the second object would be positive and would be calculated by multiplying a small mass times a large velocity.
text: Therefore, the final momentum of the first object would be negative and might be calculated by multiplying a large mass times a small velocity; the final momentum of the second object would be positive and would be calculated by multiplying a small mass times a large velocity.
text: So, in the above problem you would say that the momentum is 'positive 8.0 kg-m/s', or '8.0 kg-m/s to the right'.
text: This is a substantially simpler calculation of the momenta of both particles; the reduced mass and relative velocity can be calculated from the initial velocities in the lab frame and the masses, and the momentum of one particle is simply the negative of the other.
text: If you define east as the positive direction of velocity, then if the velocity increases in this direction the momentum will be positive.
