Answer:

The total momentum before and after collision is 72000 kg-m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of car = 1200 kg

Velocity of car = 10 m/s

Mass of truck = 2000 kg

Velocity of truck = 30 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

The total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after collision.

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V

Where, m_{1}=mass of car

v_{1} =velocity of car

m_{1}=mass of truck

v_{1} =velocity of truck

Put the value into the formula

1200\times10+2000\times30=(1200+2000)V

V=\dfrac{1200\times10+2000\times30}{(1200+2000)}

V = 22.5\ m/s

Now, The total momentum before collision is

P=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

P=1200\times10+2000\times30

P=72000\ kg-m/s

The total momentum after collision is

P=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{2}

P=(1200+2000)\times22.5

P= 72000 kg-m/s

Hence, The total momentum before and after collision is 72000 kg-m/s.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

0 - 60 mph = 0 - 26.8 m/s = 0 - 96.6 km/h; 0 - 100 km/h = 0 - 27.8 m/s = 0 - 62.1 mph.
