15. A car travelling towards the right has a mass of 1332 kg and has a speed of 25 m/s. A truck is travelling towards the left with a mass of 3000 kg and a speed of 15 m/s. They collide head
on with each other. What is the total momentum after the crash? In which direction will the
vehicles travel after the collision?

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a car, m₁ = 1332 kg

The speed of the car, u₁ = 25 m/s (right)

The mass of a truck, m₂ = 3000 kg

The speed of the truck, u₂ = -15 m/s

The total momentum after the crash is given by :

p=m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

Put all the values,

P = 1332(25) + 3000(-15)

= −11700 kg-m/s

So, the total momentum after the crash is equal to 11700 kg-m/s and it is in the left direction.
