Momentum, Impulse, and Collisions:

A 1050kg sports car is moving westbound at 15.0m/s on a level road, when it collides with a 6,320kg truck driving east on the same road at 10.0m/s. The two vehicles remain locked together after the collision.

What is the velocity (magnitude & direction) of the two vehicles just after the collision?

At what speed should the truck have been moving so that both it and the car are stopped in the collision?

Find the change in kinetic energy of the system of two vehicles for the situations of part a) and b).

For which situation is the change in kinetic energy greater in magnitude?

A sports car is moving at a constant velocity in the +x direction on a flat horizontal street. 1) The net force on the car is doing positive work. True or False 2) The driver presses the accelerator, the car accelerates in the same direction and, thus positive non-conservative work is being done. True or False 3) As the car accelerates, the kinetic energy increases and the momentum decreases. True or False 4) As the car accelerates, the potential energy decreases. True or...

A car moving due east at 6 m/s collides at the intersection with an identical car. If the entangled wreckage moves at 5.5 m/s at 22 degrees north of east after the collision, what was the velocity and direction of the second car immediately before the collision? The entangled wreckage slides along the horizontal road leaving skid marks. If the coefficient of friction between the entangled wreckage and the road is 0.34, how long are the skid marks?
