Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the car, m₁ = 1250 kg
Initial speed of the car, u₁ = 7.39 m/s
Mass of the truck, m₂ = 5380 kg
It is stationary, u₂ = 0
Final speed of the truck, v₂ = 2.3 m/s
Let v₁ is the final velocity of the car. Using the conservation of momentum as :
So, the final velocity of the car is 2.5 m/s but in opposite direction. Hence, this is the required solution.
