what velocity must a 1340kg car have in order to havw the same momentum as a 2680 kg truck traveling at a velocity of 15m/s to the west?

car with a mass of 1210 kg moving at a velocity of 51 m/s.
2. What velocity must a 1340 kg car have in order to have the same momentum as a 2680 kg truck traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s to the west? 3.0 X 10^1 m/s to the west.

Hope i helped
Have a good day :)

The velocity of the car is 30 m/s.

Momentum: This can be defined as the product of mass and velocity of a body. The s.i unit is kgm/s

The Momentum of the car is equal to that of the truck.

Using the formula below,

mv = MV..................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car, M = mass of the truck, V = velocity of the truck.

make v the subject of the equation

v = MV/m................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: M = 2680 kg, V = 15 m/s, m = 1340 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

v = (2680×15)/1340

v = 30 m/s

Hence, the Velocity of the car is 30 m/s
