"BIG CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY"
"Two trucks of equal mass collided head-on at the same speed on the busy East-
West Highway. They both renaiied stationary on impact,"
Explain this crash in terms of conservation of linear momentum. Assume the
masses of other contents of the trucks are equal.
A police recruit, while training, shot at a statioary target of mass 5.0 kg, with
a bullet of mass (0.1 kg. The target was mounted on low-ficlion wheels and as
soon as the bullet struck the target, the target with the embedded bullet sped ofl
with a velocity of 6.0 m s.
(ii)
Calculate the velocity of the bullet just before it hit the stationary target.
