The new speed of car is 10.9 m/s
<h3 />According to the principle of momentum conservation, momentum is only modified by the action of forces as they are outlined by Newton's equations of motion; momentum is never created nor destroyed inside a problem domain.
Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 7950 kg
Mass of the load, m₂ = 2950 kg
It can be assumed as the speed of the car, u₁ = 15 m/s
Initially, it is at rest, u₂ = 0
Let v is the speed of the car. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :
Therefore, the new speed of care is 10.9 m/s

Assuming the driver starts slamming the brakes immediately, the car moves by uniformly decelerated motion, so we can use the following relationship
(1)
where
a is the deleceration
S is the distance covered after a time t
is the velocity at time t
is the initial speed of the car
The accident is 80 m ahead of the car, so the minimum deceleration required to avoid the accident is the value of a such that S=80 m and
(the car should stop exactly at S=80 m to avoid the accident). Using these data, we can solve the equation (1) to find a:
And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.
where
a is the deleceration
S is the distance covered after a time t
The accident is 80 m ahead of the car, so the minimum deceleration required to avoid the accident is the value of a such that S=80 m and
And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.
The astronaut final velocity is 0.06 m/s to the right
Explanation:
In absence of external forces, the total momentum of the box-astronaut system is conserved.
At the beginnig, the total momentum of the two is zero, since they are at rest:
While the final momentum, after the astronaut throws the box, is:
where
m = 11 kg is the mass of the box
M = 79 kg is the mass of the astronaut
v = -0.45 m/s (to the left) is the velocity of the box (we take left as negative direction)
V is the final velocity of the astronaut
The total momentum is conserved, so
And solving , we find V:
And the positive sign indicates that the direction is to the right.
