Question
- always use significant figure rules. remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements.
a 1000 - kg car traveling at 66 m/s hits a 2000 - kg car at rest and the two travel together after the collision. calculate the
speed with which they move.
v = ______ m/s
○ 22 m/s
○ - 22 m/s
○ 33 m/s
○ - 33 m/s
Step1: Aplicar la ley de conservación de la cantidad de movimiento
La cantidad de movimiento inicial \( p_i = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 \), donde \( m_1 = 1000\,\text{kg} \), \( v_1 = 66\,\text{m/s} \), \( m_2 = 2000\,\text{kg} \), \( v_2 = 0\,\text{m/s} \). Entonces \( p_i=1000\times66 + 2000\times0=66000\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m/s} \).
La cantidad de movimiento final \( p_f=(m_1 + m_2)v \), donde \( m_1 + m_2=1000 + 2000 = 3000\,\text{kg} \).
Step2: Igualar \( p_i \) y \( p_f \)
Según la ley de conservación \( p_i = p_f \), entonces \( 66000=(3000)v \). Resolviendo para \( v \), \( v=\frac{66000}{3000}=22\,\text{m/s} \).
