To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy and the definition of kinematic energy as half the product between mass and squared velocity. So,

$KE_i = KE_f$

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Here,

m = Mass

V = Velocity

Replacing,

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (12000)(11)^2$

$KE_f = 72600J$

Therefore the final kinetic energy of the two car system is 72.6kJ

If 2 objects had the same momentum, what must be true about the mass of the object that traveled the fastest?

julsineya [31]

Yes, the above-given statement is true

<u>Explanation:</u>

The product of the mass x the velocity will be the same for both. Momentum is the action of a body with a particular mass through space and there is the conservation of momentum.
Momentum is described as the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity.
<u>Momentum (p) = Mass (M) * Velocity (v)</u>
Therefore for two objects with many masses to have a similar momentum, then the lighter one has to be moving quicker than the heavier object.
