Hi there!

II. Linear momentum of the system is zero.

This is an example of a RECOIL collision. With the Law of Conservation of Momentum, momentum remains constant before and after the collision.

Thus, the total momentum would also be equivalent to zero after the collision.

Answer:

1 m = 39.37 in = 39.37/12 ft = 3.28 ft

V = 1145 k/hr = 1145k/hr * 6076 ft/k = 6957020 ft / hr

V = 6957020 ft/hr / 3600 s/hr = 1933 ft/sec

V = 1933 ft/sec / (3.28 ft / m) = 589 m/s

Check:

88 ft/sec = 60 mph

(1145 k/hr * 6076 ft / k) 3600 sec/hr = 1933 ft/sec = 589 m/s

1933 ft/sec / (88 ft/sec) * 60 mph = 1318 mph

Also, 1318 / 1145 = 6076 / 5280 as it should
