The velocity of the two cars after the collision is , which corresponds to option A.

Solución

We have a ball with mass . The speed just before striking the floor is (downward), and the rebound speed is (upward).
The initial momentum is given by and the final momentum is given by (negative because it’s in the opposite direction).
The change in momentum is calculated as .

    Calculate the value by following steps:
  • step0: Calculate:
  • step1: Subtract the numbers:

    We have a toy truck with mass moving at speed and a toy car with mass at rest ( ).
    The total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. The equation is given by:
where is the final velocity after the collision.
Rearranging the equation gives:
Now, substituting the values into the equation:1.
Let’s perform this calculation.

The Deep Dive

To determine the change in momentum for the ball, start with the initial momentum before it strikes the floor, which is . Upon rebounding, its momentum becomes . Now, calculate the change in momentum: . Thus, the magnitude of the change in momentum is (option C).
For the toy truck and car collision, use conservation of momentum. The total initial momentum before the collision is . Since the two cars stick together after the collision, their combined mass is . Using momentum conservation , solving gives (option A).
