A7150-kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of a 3350-kg load, initially at rest, is dropped onto the car. what will be the car's new speed? the positive direction is the direction of the original motion of the car.

v = 10.21 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 7150 kg

Mass of the load, m₂ = 3350 kg

It can be assumed as the speed of the car, u₁ = 15 m/s

Initially, it is at rest, u₂ = 0

Let v is the speed of the car. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

v = 10.21 m/s

So, the new speed of the car is 10.21 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

okay i have so many questions. but the big one here is: um wt..f is this mess? ?
