A railway carriage of mass 9000 kg moving with a speed of 36 kmph collides with stationary carriage of the same mass. After the collision, the carriages get coupled and moved together. What is their common speed after collision? What type of collision is this?

The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision. To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum. Given velocity v1= 36kmph = 36*5/18 = 10m/s M1v1 + m2 v2 = (m1+m2)v 9000*10 + 0 = (9000+9000)v V = 5m/s

To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum.

Given velocity v1= 36kmph = 36*5/18 = 10m/s

M1v1 + m2 v2 = (m1+m2)v

9000*10 + 0 = (9000+9000)v

V = 5m/s

Use conservation Law of linear momentum , Pi = Pf Pi = initial momentum = mV Pf = final momentum = ( m + m) V1 so, mV = ( m + m )V1 V1 = V/2 = 36/2 = 18 km/h speed after collision = 18 km/h this is an example of enelastic collision in this collision , energy not conserved , eg loss

Use conservation Law of linear momentum ,
Pi = Pf

Pi = initial momentum = mV
Pf = final momentum = ( m + m) V1

so, mV = ( m + m )V1
V1 = V/2 = 36/2 = 18 km/h
speed after collision = 18 km/h

this is an example of enelastic collision in this collision , energy not conserved , e

Convert 36km/ h in m/s i.e 10 m/s. 9000(10)+9000(0)= (9000+9000)×u 90000+0= 18000u u = 90000/18000 U= 5 m/s Perfectly inelastic collision

Using Principle of Conservation of Momentum, P1=P2, ie, M1V1=M2V2=> (9000+0)*36 = (9000+9000)*V2=> 18 = V2Therefore, Velocity of joint carriage after the collision is 18 kmph. The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision.
