Question

A car with a momentum of 1200 kg.m/s with a mass of 600 kg hit a trash can which was on the side of the road,If the mass of trash can is 7 kg and the velocity of the car after the collision was 10 m/s, what will be the final velocity of the trash can ? What kind of collision this one is? Explain,

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

m1*v1 = m2 v2

1200kgm/s=600kg*v1=(7+600)*v2

6000=607*v

v2=9.8m/s

Answer 2

Speaking that the trash can absorb the momentum. It only should go 5
