The image above shows a crash test dummie's head traveling at -1.005 m/s while striking a headrest from a car traveling 4.524 m/s with a mass of 2005.6 kg. If the crash test dummie's head head bounces off the headrest with a 9.965 m/s and the car continues traveling at 4.487 m/s, calculate the mass of the crash test dummie's head?

From the calculation, the mass of the dummies head is 1647.44 Kg

We know that the momentum after collision is equal to the momentum before collision.

Mass of the headrest = 2005.6 kg

Initial velocity of the head rest = 4.524 m/s

Final velocity of the head rest = 4.487 m/s

Mass of the dummy = m

Initial velocity of the dummy = -1.005 m/s

Final velocity of the dummy = 9.965 m/s

Then;

(m * -1.005) + (2005.6 * 4.524 ) = (2005.6 * 4.487) + (m * 9.965)

-1.005m + 9073.33 = 8999.13 + 9.965m

9073.33 - 8999.13 = 9.965m + 1.005m

18072.46 = 10.97m

m = 18072.46/ 10.97

m = 1647.44 Kg
