2.3 Isolated system is a system on which the resultant/net external force is zero. (2)
2.4
2.4.1 Σpi = Σpf (Any one)
m1vi1 + m2vi2 = (m1 + m2) vf
1 500 x 20 + 0 = (1 500 + 900) vf  (4)
vf = 12,5 m.s-1 
2.4.2 OPTION 1 OPTION 2
Fnet. Δt = Δp  Fnet. Δt = Δp 
Fnet . 0,2  = 900 (12,5 – 0)  Fnet . 0,2  = 1 500 (12,5 – 20) 
