Answer:
500 kg
Explanation:
It is given that,
The mass of a open train car, M = 5000 kg
Speed of open train car, V = 22 m/s
A few minutes later, the car’s speed is 20 m/s
We need to find the mass of water collected in the car. It is based on the conservation of momentum as follows :
initial momentum = final momentum
Let m is final mass
MV=mv
Water collected = After mass of train - before mass of train
= 5500 - 5000
= 500 kg
So, 500 kg of water has collected in the car.
