Acar has 400 kgm/s worth of momentum and runs into a truck initially at rest. what is the initial momentum of the truck?

0 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum is the product of mass(m) and velocity(v).

Initially the velocity of truck is 0 m/s so the product of mass and velocity becomes 0.

It does not matter what is the weight of truck, because the velocity will make the product of m*v = 0

It does not matter what is the momentum of car.

a. is the answer because they are not shared

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
