A truck and a car move at speeds of 72 km / h and 108 km / h, respectively. Truck weight 4000 kg.

A truck and a car move at speeds of 72 km / h and 108 km / h, respectively. Truck weight 4000 kg. What is the mass of a car if the momentum of a truck is 20,000 kg m / s greater than that of a car

Truck impulse = 4000 * 72 / 3.6 = 80,000 kg * m / s (divided by 3.6 to convert to meters per second)
Means the impulse of the car 60,000
Then mass = 60,000 * 3.6 / 108 = 2000 kg
Answer: 2000 kg
