Answer: 1.71 m/s
Explanation:
The momentum (linear momentum) [tex]p[/tex] is given by the following equation:
[tex]p=m.V[/tex]
Where:
[tex]p=4100 kg m/s[/tex] is the momentum of the car
[tex]m=2400 kg[/tex] is the mass of the car
[tex]V[/tex] is the velocity of the car
Isolating [tex]V[/tex]:
[tex]V=\frac{p}{m}[/tex]
[tex]V=\frac{4100 kg m/s}{2400 kg}[/tex]
Finally:
[tex]V=1.708 m/s \approx 1.71 m/s[/tex] This is the velocity of the car
