Determine the direction of the final net momentum


Object A is moving due east, whereas object B is moving due north. They collide and stick altogether in a totally inelastic collision. Momentum is conserved.

(i) Is it possible that the two-object system has a final net momentum of zero after the collision?

(ii) Roughly, determine the direction of the final net momentum of the two-object system after the collision?

(iii) Object A consists of a mass of 17 kg and an initial velocity of 8 m/s, due east. Object B consists of a mass of 29 kg and an initial velocity of 5 m/s due north. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net velocity of the two-object system after the collision.
