A 10,000 kg railroad car is rolling at 2.00 m/s when a 2000 kg load of gravel is suddenly dropped in. What is the car's speed just after the gravel is loaded?
Solution)
Mass, m1=10,000 kg
Velocity, v1=2 m/s
Mass, m2=10,000 + 2000=12,000 kg
Velocity, v2=?
According to Conservation of Linear Momentum,
M1v1= m2v2
Substitute values,
10,000*2=12000*v2
So, speed, v2= 1.66 m/s (Ans)
