A car with a mass 1078 kg and moving at a speed 5 m/s hits a
motionless truck of mass 2998 kg whose brake is not engaged.
If the car comes to a complete stop during the collision, how fast
does the truck start moving?
here,
the mass of car , m1 = 1078 kg
the initial velocity of car , u1 = 5 m/s
the mass of truck ,m2 = 2998 kg
the final velocity of car , v1 = 0 m/s
let the final velocity of truck be v2
using conservation of momentum
m1 * u1 + m2 * u2 = m1 * v1 + m2 * v2
1078 * 5 + 2998 * 0 = 1078 * 0 + 2998 * v2
solving for v2
v2 = 1.8 m/s
the final velocity of truck is 1.8 m/s

13. Suppose a car of mass 100 kg is moving with a speed of 20 m/s. How much KE does it carry? If a truck of mass 2000 kg is moving with a same speed what is it Kinetic energy?
A truck with a mass of 1510 kg and moving with a speed of 14.5 m/s rear-ends a 671 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collision is approximately elastic since the car is in neutral, the brakes are off, the metal bumpers line up well and do not get damaged. Find the speed of both vehicles after the collision in meters per second. m/s vcar truck m/s
A 623 kg car moving at 18.2 m/s in the +x direction hits from behind a second car moving at 10 m/s in the same direction. If the second car has a mass of 593 kg and a speed of 19 m/s right after the collision, what is the velocity of the first car after this sudden collision? Please show work and explain. a) 26.8 m/s b) 8.74 m/s c) -9.63 m/s d) 9.63 m/s
A blue car with mass mc = 481 kg is moving east with a speed of vc = 23 m/s and collides with a purple truck with mass mt = 1289 kg that is moving south with a speed of vt = 10 m/s . The two collide and lock together after the collision. *What is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the car? *What is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the truck? *What is the magnitude...
A truck with a mass of 1800 kg and moving with a speed of 14.0 m/s rear-ends a 603 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collision is approximately elastic since the car is in neutral, the brakes are off, the metal bumpers line up well and do not get damaged. Find the speed of both vehicles after the collision in meters per second. car = m/s Vtruck = m/s
PROBLEM FUUR (20 FUL ) A 420 kg car moving at 14.4 m/s hits from behind another car moving at 11.3 m/s in the same direction. If the second car has a mass of 590 kg and a new speed of 17.9 m/s, what is the velocity of the first car after the collision?
A truck with a mass of 1370 kg and moving with a speed of 11.5 m/s rear-ends a 743 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collision is approximately elastic since the car is in neutral, the brakes are off, the metal bumpers line up well and do not get damaged. Find the speed of both vehicles after the collision in meters per second. vcar = m/s vtruck = m/s
