A 7150-kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of 15.0 m/s. A 3650-kg load, initially at rest, is dropped onto the car. What will be the car’s new speed?

Identify the principle to use: This is a conservation of momentum problem because no external forces act on the system (the railroad car and the load). The total momentum before the load is dropped must equal the total momentum after the load is dropped.
Write the equation for conservation of momentum: \( m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v_f \), where \( m_1 \) and \( v_1 \) are the mass and velocity of the railroad car, \( m_2 \) and \( v_2 \) are the mass and velocity of the load, and \( v_f \) is the final velocity of the combined system.
Substitute the known values into the equation: \( (7150 \ \text{kg})(15.0 \ \text{m/s}) + (3650 \ \text{kg})(0 \ \text{m/s}) = (7150 \ \text{kg} + 3650 \ \text{kg}) v_f \).
Simplify the equation: Calculate the total momentum on the left-hand side and the total mass on the right-hand side. This will leave you with an equation in terms of \( v_f \).
Solve for \( v_f \): Divide the total momentum by the total mass to find the final velocity of the railroad car and load system.

Conservation of Momentum

The principle of conservation of momentum states that in a closed system, the total momentum before an event must equal the total momentum after the event, provided no external forces act on it. In this scenario, the momentum of the railroad car before the load is dropped must equal the combined momentum of the car and the load after the load is added.

Momentum Calculation

Momentum is calculated as the product of an object's mass and its velocity (p = mv). For the railroad car and the load, we will calculate the initial momentum of the car and then set it equal to the final momentum of the car plus the load to find the new speed after the load is dropped.

Inelastic Collision

An inelastic collision occurs when two objects collide and stick together, resulting in a loss of kinetic energy but conservation of momentum. In this problem, the dropping of the load onto the car can be treated as an inelastic collision, where the car and load move together after the load is added, affecting the final speed.

A 22-g bullet traveling 240 m/s penetrates a 2.0-kg block of wood and emerges going 130 m/s. If the block is stationary on a frictionless surface when hit, how fast does it move after the bullet emerges?

A 195-kg projectile, fired with a speed of 116 m/s at a 60.0° angle, breaks into three pieces of equal mass at the highest point of its arc (where its velocity is horizontal). Two of the fragments move with the same speed right after the explosion as the entire projectile had just before the explosion; one of these moves vertically downward and the other horizontally. Determine the velocity of the third fragment immediately after the explosion.

A mass mₐ = 2.0 kg, moving with velocity va→\(\overrightarrow{v_{a}\)} = (4.0 î + 5.0 ĵ ― 2.0 k̂) m/s, collides with mass m₈ = 3.0 kg, which is initially at rest. Immediately after the collision, mass mₐ is observed traveling at velocity va′→\(\overrightarrow{v_{a}\)^{\(\prime\)}} = (― 2.0 î + 3.0 k̂) m/s. Find the velocity of mass m₈ after the collision. Assume no outside force acts on the two masses during the collision.
