    A 10-wheeler truck traveling at 10 m/s hits a parked car with a total mass of 960 kg. To solve for the speed after impact and force on a 75 kg passenger, momentum is conserved and used in equations. The speed after impact is calculated to be 8.24 m/s, and the force experienced by the passenger is 1545 N.

    Answer on Question #71636-Physics-Other

    A ten-wheeler truck of mass 4500 kg and traveling at 10 m/s hits the back of a parked car. The car and its
    occupants have a total mass of 960 kg.

    (a) What is the speed of the car and the truck immediately after impact assuming they are locked together?

    (b) If the impact lasts for 0.4 s, what force is experienced by a 75 kg passenger?

    Solution

    a)

    𝑀𝑉 = (𝑚 + 𝑀)𝑣

    𝑀𝑉
    𝑣=
    (𝑚 + 𝑀)

    4500 𝑚
    𝑣= 10 = 8.24 .
    (960 + 4500) 𝑠

    b)

    4500
    𝑚𝑣 (75) ((960 + 4500) 10)
    𝐹= = = 1545 𝑁.
    𝑡 0.4
