Answer:

50 m/s opposite direction to the motion of the truck

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying the law of conservation of momentum

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')...….. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the truck, u = initial velocity of the truck, m' = mass of the car, u' = initial velocity of the car, V = Final velocity after collision

Given: m = 2500 kg, u = 20 m/s, m' = 1000 kg, V = 0 m/s (both car stop after collision)

Substitute these values into equation 1

2500(20)+1000(u') = 0(2500+1000)

2500(20)+1000(u') = 0

Solve for u'

u' = -[2500(20)]/1000

u' = -50 m/s

The negative sign shows that the car travels in opposite direction to the truck

Hence the car initial velocity before collision is 50 m/s in opposite direction to the motion of the truck

6. An article, which costs Rs. 850 is sold at a profit of 6%.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

b) Rs.901  is the selling price

Explanation:

selling price = cost price+profit percentage/100 x cost price

cost price = 850

profit percentage = 6%

selling price = 850+6/100 x 850 = 901

soln 2

                              if 100 % = 850

therefore what about 106% = ?

106 x 805/100 = 901

ans = 901

if you need any clarification or more explanation pls do mention on the comment section.i would like to help more

Hope this helps and if it does mark as branliest answer thx
