Answer:

1.53 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car (M) = 1300 kg

Mass of the coal (m) = 400 kg

Initial velocity of the car (U) = 2 m/s

Initial velocity of the coal (u) = 0 m/s (Since it is dropped)

When the coal is dropped into the car, then they move with same final velocity.

Let the final velocity be 'v' m/s.

For a closed system, the law of conservation of momentum holds true.

So, initial momentum is equal to final momentum of the car-coal system.

Initial momentum of the car = MU=1300\times 2=2600\ Ns

Initial momentum of the coal = mu=0\ Ns

Total initial momentum is the sum of the above two momentums.

So, total initial momentum = 2600 + 0 = 2600 Ns

Now, final momentum is given as the product of combined mass and final velocity. So,

Final momentum of the system = (M+m)v=(1300+400)v=1700v

Now, from law of conservation of momentum,

Initial momentum = Final momentum

2600=1700v\\\\v=\frac{2600}{1700}\\\\v=1.53\ m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of either of the two masses is same is equal to 1.53 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

A physical quantity which can be completely described by the magnitude and direction both are called vector quantities. For example, displacement, velocity, etc.

A physical quantity which can be completely explained by the magnitude only is called scalar quantity. For example, mass, time, etc.
