Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Momentum is defined as the ability or tendency of an atom to continue moving.
The relation between momentum, velocity and mass is as follows.
p = m × v
where, p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
It is given that mass is [tex]1.2 \times 10^{4} kg[/tex] and velocity is 23 m/s. Therefore, calculate momentum as follows.
p = m × v
= [tex]1.2 \times 10^{4} kg \times 23 m/s[/tex]
= [tex]27.6 \times 10^{4} kg m/s[/tex]
= [tex]2.8 \times 10^{5} kg m/s[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that momentum of the system after the collision is [tex]2.8 \times 10^{5} kg m/s[/tex].
