A 3,000 kg truck moving at +10 m/s hits a 1,000 kg parked car which moves off at +15 m/s What is the velocity of
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

v₃ = 5 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of linear momentum, which tells us that momentum is equal to the product of mass by Velocity.

P = m*v

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

We must also clarify that the momentum is preserved i.e. it is equal before the collision and after the collision

Pbeforecollision = Paftercollision

(m₁*v₁) + (m₂*v₂) = (m₁*v₃) + (m₂*v₄)

where:

m₁ = mass of the truck = 3000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the truck = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the car before the collision = 0 (the car is parked)

v₃ = velocity of the truck after the collision [m/s]

v₄ = velocity of the car after the collision = 15 [m/s]

(3000*10) + (1000*0) = (3000*v₃) + (1000*15)

30000 = 3000*v₃ + 15000

3000*v₃ = 30000 - 15000

3000*v₃ = 15000

v₃ = 5 [m/s]

A 2.5-kg ball and a 5.0-kg ball have an elastic collision. Before the collision, the 2.5-kg ball was at rest and the other ball
lesantik [10]

The kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball after collision is 27.09 J.

Answer:

Explanation:

In elastic collision, the sum of momentum of the objects before collision will be equal to the sum of momentum of the objects after collision.  

We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity acting on any object.

So, the conservation of energy in elastic collision leads to following equation:

M_{1} u_{1} +M_{2} u_{2}=M_{1}  v_{1}+M_{2}  v_{2}

Since, the momentum is conserved ,the kinetic energy will also be conserved in elastic collision. So

M_{1} u_{1} ^{2}+M_{2} u_{2} ^{2}=M_{1}v_{1} ^{2}+  M_{2}v_{2} ^{2}

Since initial velocity for M1 ball is zero, then

M_{2} u_{2}=M_{1}  v_{1}+M_{2}  v_{2}

and

M_{2} u_{2} ^{2}=M_{1}v_{1} ^{2}+  M_{2}v_{2} ^{2}

So, on solving all the above equation, we get an equation for velocity and that is

\frac{2M_{2}u_{2} }{(M_{1}+M_{2}  }=final velocity of ball with mass 2.5 kg

v = \frac{2(5*3.5)}{2.5+5}=4.67 m/s

So kinetic energy will be 1/2 mv2

Kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball is \frac{1}{2}*2.5*(4.67)^{2}  =27.09 J

So the kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball after collision is 27.09 J.
