2022 F = ma Exam B — Question 6

A block of mass m is at rest on a frictionless table. It is pushed horizontally by a constant force F , and has total momentum p when it reaches the end of the table. If a block of mass 2m is pushed across the table in the same way, also starting from rest, what is its momentum when it reaches the end of the table?
