A 1250 kg car is stopped at a traffic light


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 272 People


A 1250 kg car is stopped at a traffic light. A 3550 kg truck moving at 8.33 m/s hits the car from behind. If bumpers lock, how fast will the two vehicles move?​

Answered by admin @



Answer:

1,250 kg + 3,550 kg = 4,800 kg combined

(1,250 kg)(0 ) + (3,550 kg)(8.33 ) = (4,800 kg)(v)

v = 6.16m/s
