Answer:
The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the car,
Mass of the truck,
Initial velocity of the car,
Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0
After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s
Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :
So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).
