Answer:
The final speed of the train and Bambi after collision is 7.44 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the train, m₁ = 1000kg
mass of Bambi, m₂ = 75kg
initial speed of the train, u₁ = 8 m/s
initial speed of Bambi, u₂ = 0 m/s
If Bambi gets stuck to the front of the train, then the collision is inelastic.
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
where;
v is the final speed of the train and Bambi after collision
Substitute the given values and solve for v
1000 x 8 + 75 x 0 = v (1000 + 75)
8000 = v (1075)
v = 8000/1075
v = 7.44 m/s
Therefore, the final speed of the train and Bambi after collision is 7.44 m/s
