Question

How much momentum will be transferred to a stationary truck when a car with

momentum 1000 kg m/s collides with it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

no momentum will transfer

Answer 2

Given info : a car of linear momentum 1000 kg m/s collides with a stationary truck.

To find : the momentum will be transferred to the truck.

Solution : according to law of conservation,

when two objects collide each other, linear momentum of collision must be conserved.

So, linear momentum before collision = linear momentum after collision

⇒momentum of car = momentum of truck [ condition is, after collision car is in rest ]

So the momentum of truck = 1000 kgm/s
