Consider the system of a motorcycle + car. The motorcycle crashes
and sticks into the initially stationary car, pushing it
horizontally. After the crash the motorcycle and the car both slide
to a halt together. Even though the system is not closed /isolated,
the momentum of the collision is approximately conserved during the
collision. Why is that?
Solutions
Expert Solution
If an object hits another object and Sticks together and the momentum is conserved then the collision is totally inelastic. In totally inelastic condition the final velocity of the two objects is same. In this case, the motorcycle hits the car and sticks together and they are slide together with the same velocity. In this case, momentum is also conserved. Thus the collision is totally inelastic.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant
speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
are both traveling at the same speed of 21.5 m/s , and the distance
between them is 60.0 m . After t1 = 5.00 s , the motorcycle starts
to accelerate at a rate of 8.00 m/s2 . The motorcycle catches up
with the car at some time t2.

The car and motorcycle population will not be allowed to
increase from next February, with the Land Transport Authority
announcing yesterday that it will no longer be factoring in growth
when setting the certificate of entitlement (COE) quota.
Currently, it factors in a growth rate of 0.25 per cent per
year.
The LTA had hinted at such a move previously, and said yesterday
that it was proceeding "in view of Singapore's land constraints and
our commitment to continually improve our...

are both traveling at the same speed of 18.0m/s , and the distance
between them is 54.0m. (A) How long does it take from the moment
when the motorcycle starts to accelerate until it catches up with
the car? In other words, find t2-t1. (B) How far does the
motorcycle travel from the moment it starts to accelerate...

According to the statistics reported, a surprsing number of car
crashes are not covered by insurance. Simple results, consistent
with the report, showed 41 of 183 vehicals were not covered by by
insurance. Test the hypothesis that the porportion of vehicles not
covered by insurance is 17% at .1 level of significance. Find the
critical value, test statistic, and the P value Reject of fail to
reject the null? then construct a 80% confidence interval for the
true proprotion of...

In a study of
11 comma 00011,000
car crashes, it was found that
5544
of them occurred within 5 miles of home (based on insurance
company data). Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim
that more than 50% of car crashes occur within 5 miles of home.
Use this information to answer the following questions.
z =
