Answer:

2.06 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.

Momentum before collision

Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5

Momentum after collision

The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4

Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4

9v=18.5

V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s

Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s

A 900-kg giraffe runs across a field at a rate of 50 km/hr. What is the magnitude of its momentum? 18 km/hr
Yuri [45]
The correct answer is the one with 45000 kg*km/hr.
the formula is p = m*v 
 900 *50/hr  giving u 45000 
I know this is the correct answer because i have already turned it in and got a 100%.
