1200*V = 1500*90
Solve for V. The answer will be in km/h
How fast would a 1200 kg car travel if it had the same linear momentum as a 1500 kg truck traveling at 90 km/h?

I'm asking for help so obviously I don't know the answer thanks for nothing jishka
On the problem, it said the truck and car had the same linear momentum. P=mv so calculate the linear momentum first P=(1500kg)(90km/hr) then after you have the answer on that, use the linear momentum and the mass of car to have its velocity( P=mv will become v=P/m).
Just times the mass and velocity of the truck then divide the result of it with the mass of the car.
