a car a of mass 1500kg traveling at 25m/s collides with car b of mass 1000kg travelling at 15 m/s in the same direction after collision the velocity of cara become 20m/s calculate the velocity of car b after collision
Answers
Answer:
22.5m/s
Explanation:
momentum of car A before collision=1500*25 eq1
momentum of car B before collision=1000*15 eq2
momentum of car A after collision=1500*20 eq3
momentum of car B after collision 1000*v eq4
using law of conservation of total linear momentum
eq1+eq2=eq3+eq4
52500=30000+1000v
22500=1000v
v=22.5m/s
A car of mass 1500kg traveling at 25m/s collides with car B of mass 1000kg travelling at 15 m/s in the same direction after collision the velocity of car A become 20m/s.Calculate the velocity of car B after collision.
As per the provided question, we have:
Before collision:–
- Mass of the car A = 1500 kg
- Velocity of the car A = 25 m/s
- Mass of the car B = 1000 kg
- Velocity of the car B = 15 m/s
After collision:–
- Velocity of car A becomes 20 m/s.
To calculate:
- Velocity of car B after collision.
Calculation:
Firstly we have to calculate the momentum of the both objects before and after collision,in order to solve this problem.
- Momentum of car A = Mass of the of the car × Velocity of the car
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
- Momentum of car B= Mass of the of the car × Velocity of the car
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
- Total momentum of Car A and car B= 37,500 + 15,000= 52,500kg.m/s⠀(Before collision)........
⠀⠀⠀
As per the given question, Velocity of the first object becomes 3m/s after the collision, So
⠀⠀⠀
- Momentum of car A = Mass of the car Velocity of the car
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
- Total momentum of both cars = 30,000+ 1000v kg.m/s ⠀⠀⠀(After collision).........
⠀⠀⠀
According to the law of conservation of momentum:
It means,
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Therefore, the velocity of the car B after collision is 22.5m/s.
