Answer:
the mass of the truck is 2 kg.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the car, m₁ = 3 kg
initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 40 m/s
initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 60 m/s
let the mass of the truck = m₂
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momemtum;
m₁u₁ = m₂u₂
m₂ = (m₁u₁) / u₂
m₂ = (3 x 40) / (60)
m₂ = 2 kg
Therefore, the mass of the truck is 2 kg.
B strength training I think that’s the answer
Answer:
b
Explanation:
The space shuttle, in circular orbit around the Earth, collides with a small asteroid which ends up in the shuttle's storage bay.
This form of collision is called inelastic collision. And inelastic collision momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved. Hence the correct option is b. only momentum is conserved.
Maybe the picture helps. The blue block represents the cart with a mass of 3 kg. The person(black block) is pulling the cart to the right with a force F so that the acceleration a is 2 m/s². According to Newton's 2nd law: F = m*a.
