Answer:
16 m/s.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass of truck = 5000 Kg
Velocity of truck = 8 m/s
Mass of car = 2500 kg
Velocity of car =..?
Next, we shall determine the momentum of the truck. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of truck = 5000 Kg
Velocity of truck = 8 m/s
Momentum of truck =.?
Momentum = mass × velocity
Momentum = 5000 × 8
Momentum of the truck = 40000 Kg.m/s
Finally, we shall determine the velocity of the car as follow:
From the question given above, we were told that the car and truck has the same momentum.
This implies that:
Momentum of the truck = momentum of car = 40000 Kg.m/s
Thus, the velocity of the car can be obtained as shown below:
Mass of car = 2500 kg
Momentum of the car = 40000 Kg.m/s
Velocity of car =..?
Momentum = mass × velocity
40000 = 2500 × velocity
Divide both side by 2500
Velocity = 40000/2500
Velocity = 16 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the car is 16 m/s.
