In a ride in a pleasure park, a carriage of mass 450 kg is

travelling horizontally at a speed of 18 m s–1. It passes

through a shallow tank containing stationary water. The

tank is of length 9.3 m. The carriage leaves the tank at a

speed of 13 m s–1. 18 m s

As the carriage passes through the tank, the carriage

loses momentum and causes some water to be pushed

forwards with a speed of 19 m s–1 in the direction of

motion of the carriage.

For the carriage passing through the water-tank, find

the magnitude of its total change in momentum.

Knowing the total change in momentum of the carriage passing

through the tank is 2250 Ns, find the mass of water moved in the

direction of motion of the carriage.
