A 1500 kg car traveling 5.0 m/s collides head on with a 3000 kg truck traveling
7.0 m/s in the opposite direction. If the bumpers lock. What is the velocity of the
two vehicles together immediately following the collision?

Respuesta :

  • m1=1500kg
  • m_2=3000kg
  • v_1=5m/s
  • v_2=7m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m1+m2)v_3[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 1500(5)-3000(7)=(1500+3000)v_3[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 7500-21000=4500v_3[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow -13500=4500v_3[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\Rrightarrow v_3=-3m/s[/tex]
