Question: Object A has mass mA = 1 0 kg and initial momentum p _ a , i = < 1 8 , - 7 ,

Object A has mass mA =10 kg and initial momentum p_a,i =<18,-7,0> kg*m/s, just before it strikes object B, which has mass m_B =13 kg. Just before collision object B has initial momentum p_B,i =<6,7,0> kg*m/s.(a) Consider a system consisting of both objects A and B. What is the total initial momentum of this system, just before the collision? (b) The forces that A and B exert on each other are very large but last for a very short time.
