QUESTION 4
4.1 The total linear momentum in an isolated system is conserved
(accept “closed” instead of “isolated”)
OR
In an isolated system, the total linear momentum before a collision is
equal to the total linear momentum after the collision. (2)
4.2 ptotal (before) = ptotal (after)
Σpi =Σpf
m1vi1 + m2vi2 = (m1 + m2)v
1200 (25) + 1800 (0) = (1200 + 1800)v
v = 10 m.s-1.
∴ Speed of the cars after is 10 m.s-1
(4)
4.3 ΣKf = ½ (m1 + m2)v2 ΣKi = ½ m1 vi12 + ½m2 vi22
= ½ (1200 + 1800) 10 2 = ½ (1200 )(25)2 + ½(1800)(0)2
= 150 000 J = 375 000 J
ΣKf ≠ ΣKi
∴Collision is Inelastic
(5)
NOTE: If it is assumed that ΣKf = ΣKi at the outset, Max:2/5

Ff = ma 0 = 10 + a(4)
Ff = 3000(-2,5) a = - 2,5 m.s-2
Ff = -7500 N
∴ Magnitude of frictional force is 7500 N

Wnet = ΔEK = 3920 N
Wgravity + Wcountweight + Wmotor = 0 Wmotor = Fmotor Δy cos0
Wmotor = - (W gravity + W countweight) = (3920)(60) cos0
