Masteri Momentum Conservation Law and Collisions- Internet Explorer previous 15 of 18 I g Problem 6 80 Part A A 1150 kg car and 5000 kg truck undergo a perfectly inelastic collision Before the collision, the car was traveling southward at 1.40 m/s, and the ruck weshward at & 60 m/s Find the velocity of the wnckage immediately after the collisiorn Enter the x and y components of the velocity separated by a comma. Assume that the positive x and y axes are directed eastward and northward, respectively. im/s Submit My Answers Girth, Provide Feedback Continue

Explanation / Answer

By momentum conservation, m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2) v

-1150*1.40 j - 5000*8.6 i = (1150+5000) v

v =  -1150*1.40/(1150+5000) j - 5000*8.6/ (1150+5000) i = -6.991i -0.262 j m/s

Vx, Vy =  -6.991 , -0.262 m/s
