347÷134=2.589552239 meters per second
2.589552239×60= 155.3731343 meters per hour
155.3731343 meters per hour= 0.096544389701642 miles per hour
hopefully this was right.
Sorry I'm so late, but I just took this test and the answer is white (for people who didn't study well ;) )
Answer:
24.084 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum
Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision
Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity
where is the mass of the truck, is velocity of the truck, is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and is the mass of the standing truck
Making the subject we obtain
Substituting as 25000 Kg, as 22.3 m/s, as 2000 Kg we obtain
Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive
The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s
