A toy truck, with a mass of 15.0 kg travels along a level table top at +1.0 m/s. A miniature car, with a mass of 5.0 kg, speeds headlong toward the toy truck at -0.75 m/s. Immediately after the collision, the 15.0 kg toy truck continues in its original direction at +0.13 m/s. What is the velocity of the 5.0 kg miniature car after the collision?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

initial velocity of toy truck with mass 15.0kg , vinitial,truck = +1.0 m/s

initial velocity of car with mass 5.0kg , vinitial,car = -0.75 m/s

final velocity of toy car , vfinal, car =+0.13 m/s

mtruck = 15.0 kg , mcar = 5.0 kg

momentum = mass×velocity

Momentum will remains conserved , so initial momentum = final momentum
