    P = 22500 kg. m/s

    Explanation:

    Mass of particle 1, M = 1500 kg

    speed of car in east, v = 30 m/s

    Mass of another particle, m = 900 Kg

    speed of car in west, v' = 25 m/s

    east direction is positive

    momentum of the particle when they are a system.

    P = P₁ + P₂

    P = M v + m v'

    P = 1500 x 30 + 900 x (-25)

    P = 22500 kg. m/s

    The momentum of two particle system is equal to P = 22500 kg. m/s
