Question

A car of mass 500 kg is moving at 24 m\s. A lion of mass 100 kg drops on to the roof of the car from an overhanging branch. show that the car will slow down to 20 m\s.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey There!

Lets solve...

Let the final velocity in m/s of car be v

Now

Total momentum after collision =momentum before collision

so

lets find out the momentum

500×24=12000km/s

So we know that mv=600

So

$600v = 12000 \\ \therefore \: v = \frac{12000}{600} \\ \\ simplify \\ \\ \frac{ \cancel{12000} ^{20} }{ \cancel{600} ^{1} }$

Therefore...

20m/s is the final answer.

Hence proved

I hope it is helpful to you...
