Momentum would be the same before and after the collision
 Before the collision:
 Momentum of the single cart: 1 * 0.50 = 0.50
 After the collision
 velocity = 0.25m / s
 1 * 0.25 + 1 * 0.25 =
 0.25 * (1 + 1) =
 0.25 * 2 =
 0.50
 Now new momentum will be 0.5
 answer
 the same before and after the collision

The momentum of the system of two cars after the collision will be \boxed{0.50\text{ kg.m/s}}.

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of each of the laboratory car is 1\text{ kg}.

The velocity of the laboratory cart is 0.50\text{ m/s}.

Concept:

The momentum of a body is defined as the amount of motion contained in the body at the particular instant. The momentum of the body is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of the body.

Write the expression for the momentum of the laboratory cart.

p_{1}=m\times{v}                                               ...... (1)

Here, p_1 is the momentum of the cart, m is the amss of the cart and v is the velocity of the cart.

The initial momentum of the laboratory cart which is in motion.

\begin{aligned}p_{i}&=(1\text{ kg})\times{(0.5\text{ m/s})}\\&=0.5\text{ kg.m/s}\end{aligned}

As the cart collides and the surface is frictionless, the momentum of the system will remain conserved after the collision.

The two carts will stick to one another after the collision. So, the mass of the system will be 2\text{ kg} after the collision and the speed of the carts after collision is 0.25\text{ m/s}.

Substitute the value of mass and velocity of the system in the equation of momentum.

\begin{aligned}p'&=(2\text{ kg})\times(0.25\text{ m/s})\\&=0.50\text{ m/s}\end{aligned}

Thus, the momentum of the system of two cars after the collision will be \boxed{0.50\text{ kg.m/s}}.

An empty truck traveling at 10 km/h has kinetic energy. How much kinetic energy does it have when loaded so that its mass and it
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

8 time increase in K.E.

Explanation:

Consider Mass of truck = m kg and speed = v m/s then

K.E. = 1/2 ×mv²

If mass and speed both are doubled i.e let m₀ = 2m and v₀ = 2v then

(K.E.)₀ =  1/2 ×2m(2v)²

(K.E.)₀ = 8 (1/2 × mv²) = 8 × K.E.
