A 21.0 kg shopping cart is moving with a velocity of 6.0 m/s. It strikes a 11.0 kg box that is initially at rest. They stick together and continue moving at a new velocity. Assume that friction is negligible. What was the momentum of the shopping cart before the collision? a) 66.0 kg-m/s b) 0 kg. m/s c) 126 kg. m/s d) 378 kg. m/s What was the momentum of the box before the collision? a) 66.0 kg. m/s b) 0 kg. m/s c) 378 kg-m/s d) 126 kg-m/s What is the velocity of the combined shopping cart-box wreckage after the collision? a) 6.0 m/s b) 3.9 m/s c) 0 m/s d) 11.5 m/s

a) 126 kgm/s

b) 0 kgm/s

c) 3.9 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of momentum.

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v, where

m1 = mass of the shopping cart, 21 kg

m2 = mass of the box, 11 kg

v1 = initial velocity of the shopping cart, 6 m/s

v2 = initial velocity of the box, 0 m/s

v = final velocity of the box+cart

Momentum of the shopping cart before collision = P

P = mv

P = 21 * 6

P = 126 kgm/s = c

Momentum of the box before collision

Like in question a above, the momentum of the box is P

P = mv

P = 11 * 0

P = 0 kgm/s = b

Velocity of the combined shopping cart wreckage after collision is

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v

(21 * 6) + (11 * 0) = (21 + 11)v

126 + 0 = 32v

32v = 126

v = 126/32

v = 3.9375 m/s, on approximating to 1 decimal place, we have 3.9 m/s and option b as the answer.

Answer from: Quest

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

$f\alpha \frac{dp}{dt}$

⇒ $f= k \frac{dp}{dt}$

here k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

$f=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$f= \frac{d[mv]}{dt}$

$f= m\frac{dv}{dt} +v\frac{dm}{dt}$

$f=ma+v\frac{dm}{dt}$ [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
