Two automobiles collide. One automobile of mass 1.13 x 103 kg is initially traveling at 25.7m/s [E]. The other automobile of mass 1.25 x 103 kg has an initial velocity of 13.8 m/s [W]. The vehicles become attached during the collision

            (a) Determine the magnitude and direction of the change in momentum for each automobile in question 7.

            (b) How are these two quantities related?

            (c) What is the total change in the momentum of the two automobile systems?

A body of mass 15.0 kg is traveling at 5.3 m/s along the positive x-axis with no external force acting. At a certain instant an internal explosion occurs, splitting the body into two chunks of 7.5 kg mass each. The explosion gives the chunks an additional 16 J of kinetic energy. Neither chunk leaves the line of original motion. Determine the speed and direction of motion of each of the chunks after the explosion. Enter the larger velocity. Enter the...
