A 1500 kg car traveling east at 40 km/hr turns a corner and speeds up to a velocity of 50 km/hr due north. What is the change in
1 answer:
Answer:
96046 Ns.
Explanation:
We shall represent velocity in vector form considering east direction as + ve x axis and north as + y direction.
40 km/h in the east
V₁ = 40 i
V₂ = 50j
momentum p₁ = mV₁
= 1500 X 40 i
= 60000 i
Momentum p₂ = mV₂
= 1500 X 50j
= 75000 j
Change in momentum
p₂ - p₁
75000j - 60000i
Magnitude of change
=
= 96046 Ns.
