Transcribed Image Text:[3] A 900 kg truck is going 45 m/s when a large mass is dropped straight down (with no horizontal velocity) in its bed. Calculate the size of the mass if the trucks velocity afterwards is 37 m/s. in dropped with a velocity of 8 m/s
Expert Solution
Step 1: Speed of truck before and after is given

Mass of truck M = 900kg

Speed of truck v =45m/s

Large mass is dropped straight down.
