The car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.
Answer:
Explanation:
Momentum is measured as the product of mass of object with the velocity attained by that object.
Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Mass × Velocity
Momentum of 2000 kg truck = 2000×30 = 60000 N
Similarly, the momentum of 1000 kg car will be 1000× velocity of the 1000 kg car.
Since, it is stated that momentum of 2000 kg truck is equal to the momentum of 1000 kg of car, then the velocity of 1000 kg of car can be determined by equating the momentum of car and truck.
Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Momentum of 1000 kg car
60000=1000×velocity of 1000 kg car
Velocity of 1000 kg car = 60000/1000=60 m/s
So, the car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.
