In mechanics, an impact is a highforce or shock applied over a short time period when two or more bodies collide. Such a force or acceleration usually has a greater effect than a lower force applied over a proportionally longer period. ... Resilient materials will have betterimpact resistance.
Answer:
0.182 m/s
Explanation:
m1 = 30,000 kg, m2 = 110,000 kg, u1 = 0.85 m/s
let the velocity of loaded freight car is v
Use the conservation of momentum
m1 x u1 + m2 x 0 = (m1 + m2) x v
30,000 x 0.85 = (30,000 + 110,000) x v
v = 0.182 m/s
