A truck of mass 1200kg moving with a velocity of 90km hour collides with a car of mass 1000kg moving towards the truck with a speed of 36km/h. If the collision last for 5 seconds and if after collision they both got stuck to each other and moved together then calculate the velocity of the entangled truck-car system

Answer»

EXPLANATION:

MASS of the motorcar, M=1200kg

                   Initial velocity of the CAR, u=90 km/h=25 m/s              (∵1km/h=185m/s)

                   Final velocity of the car, v=18 km/h=5 m/s

                   TIME taken          t=4 s 

ΔP=mv−mu

ΔP=1200×5−1200×25=−24000  KG m/s

v=u+at

5=25+a×4               

⟹a=−5  m/s2          (-ve shows retardation)

∣F∣=m∣a∣=1200×5=6000 N
