Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the car, m₁ = 1250 kg
Initial speed of the car, u₁ = 7.39 m/s
Mass of the truck, m₂ = 5380 kg
It is stationary, u₂ = 0
Final speed of the truck, v₂ = 2.3 m/s
Let v₁ is the final velocity of the car. Using the conservation of momentum as :
So, the final velocity of the car is 2.5 m/s but in opposite direction. Hence, this is the required solution.
The kinetic energy of the cart is 24 J.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The acceleration of a given mass from rest to the velocity is known as kinetic energy. It gains energy from acceleration and remains in this state until the speed of the object changes.
The kinetic energy is the given by,
K.E = 1/2 mv^2
Given the mass m = 3 kg, v = 4 m / s.
K.E = 1/2 3
(4)^2
K.E = 24 J.
