To solve this problem, we must remember about the law of conservation of momentum. The initial momentum mist be equal to the final momentum, that is:

m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v’

where v’ is the speed of impact

Since we are not given the masses of each car m1 and m2, so let us assume that they are equal, such that:

m1 = m2 = m

Which makes the equation:

m v1 + m v2 = (2 m) v’

Cancelling m and substituting the v values:

50 + 48 = 2 v’

2 v’ = 98

v ‘ = 49 km/h

 

<span>The speed of impact is 49 km/h.</span>

A light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy and also some thermal energy. The amount of electrical energy is 50 Jo
Kitty [74]
If the amount of electrical energy is 50 Joules before the conversions, then it would be 50 Joules after the conversion.

According to law of conservation of energy, we cannot create or destroy energy so it remains constant

Hope this helps!
