ntum of M the amount which it has afterthe collision, or M[ b. The total reaction is therefore, as before, M b -f M b. We will now suppose that the two masses are moving in differ-ent directions ; M in the direc-tion A B, Fig. 15, with a velocityb, and M in the direction A B,with a velocity b. The… … GENERAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER. 51 Let the distance CD represent the momentum Mh, and the dis-tance C D the momentum M V, and complete the parallelogramCD ED. Draw its diagonal CE. This diagonal will thenrepresent the direction of the common motion and the momen-tum of the combined masses, which is…
