Question: Object A has mass ma = 7 kg and initial momentum p = < 1 7 , - 7 , 0 > kg m /

Object A has mass ma =7 kg and initial momentum p =<17,-7,0> kg m/s, just before it strikes Object B, which has mass mb =10 kg. Just before the collision object B has initial momentum p =<6,6,0> kg m/s. The forces that A and B exert on each other are very large but last for a very short time. If we choose a time interval from just before to just after the collision, what is the approximate value of the impulse applied to the two-object system?
