Question

Q2.

Let's find out how your calculation compares to Newton's Third Law.
2. Suppose that the vehicles are in contact for 1 second before bouncmg off of each
other. Calculate:
a. the truck's acceleration during the collision.
b. the car's acceleration during the collision (using the value you calculated in
question 1).

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

Mass of truck (M) = 4000 kg.

Mass of car (m) = 2000 kg.

Step 2

Velocity is slow down by 5 m/s. let the initial velocity = V_i

The final velocity will be,

$V_{f} = V_{i} - 5$

Let the initial velocity of car is v_i so the final velocity is exceed by x,

$v_{f} = v_{i} + x$

Step 3

Applying conservation of momentum before and after collision,

$M V_{i} + m v_{i} = M (V_{f}) + m v_{f} M V_{i} + m v_{i} = M (V_{i} - 5) + m (v_{i} + x) 4000 \times V_{i} + 2000 v_{i} = 4000 V_{i} - 4000 \times 5 + 2000 v_{i} + 2000 x 2000 x = 4000 V_{i} + 2000 v_{i} - 4000 V_{i} + 20000 - 2000 v_{i} 2000 x = 20000 x = \frac{20000}{2000} x = 10 m / s .$
