Question

hey guys......please answer fast ! A car of mass one metric ton travelling at 32m/s dashes into the rear of a truck of mass 8000 kg moving in the same direction with a velocity of 4m/s. after the collision ,the car bounces backwards with a velocity of 8m/s . what is the velocity of the truck after the impact ? answer fast ☺​

Answer 1

ANSWER

Mass of car, m = 1000 kg

Speed of car, u = 32 m/s

Mass of truck, M = 8000 kg

Speed of truck, U = 4 m/s

Before collision,

Total momentum = momentum of car + momentum of truck is

= (1000)(32) + (8000)(4)

= 32000 + 32000

= 64000 Ns

After collision, the velocity of the car is, v = -8 m/s. Let the velocity of the truck be V.

So, total momentum after collision = (1000)(-8) + (8000)V = 8000(V – 1)

By law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum after collision = total momentum before collision

=> 8000(V-1) = 64000

=> V – 1 = 8

=> V = 9 m/s

This is the velocity of the truck after collision.
