The discussion revolves around a problem in physics related to linear momentum, specifically comparing the momentum of a car and a truck based on their masses and speeds.
Some participants have provided calculations for the momentum of the car and the truck, with one participant questioning the resulting speed for the truck. There is an indication of agreement on the calculations, but no explicit consensus on the correctness of the final value.
Participants are working under the constraints of a homework problem, which may limit the information available for discussion.
IDKPhysics101 said:A car with a mass of 964.0 kg is traveling at a speed of 63.3 km/hr. At what speed (in km/hr) will a 3530.7 kg truck have the same amount of momentum as the car?
IDKPhysics101 said:car
speed=63.3km/hr=17.58m/s
p=964*17.58
p=16947.12
truck
p=mv
16947.12=3530.7*V
V=4.79m/s??
