Explanation:
<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>
The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and velocity v is
P=mv.
If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:
If some collision occurs, the velocities change to v' and the final momentum is:
In a system of two masses:
There are two objects: The m1=4000 Kg car and the m2=6000 Kg truck. The car was moving initially at v1=4 m/s and the truck was at rest v2=0. After the collision, the car moves at v1'=-1 m/s. We need to find the velocity of the truck v2'. Solving for v2':
Substituting:
The velocity of the truck is 3.33 m/s
