Then, applying conservation of linear momentum in horizontal direction : \ 2)91(3501 V+=´ \ V2 = 5 3 m/s The second ball is fired when the first ball strikes the carriage i.e. after 12 s. In these 12 s the car will move forward a distance of 12V1 or 60 3 m. The second ball also takes 12 s to travel a vertical displacement of – 120 m. This ball will strike the carriage only when the carriage also covers the same distance of 60 3 m in these 12s. This is possible only when resistive forces are zero because velocity of car (V1) = Velocity of carriage after first collision (V2) = 5 3 m/s. Hence, at the time of second collision : Let V be the by velocity of carriage after second collision. Conservation of linear momentum in horizontal direction gives 1kg 5 3m/s Before collision mx = 50 3 m/s 11 V = (1) (50 3 ) + (10) (5 3 ) = 100 3 \ 100 3 11 V = m/s or V = 15.75 m/s 16.
