Three cars are approaching an intersection. Car #1 has mass 1500 kg and is driving East at 10 m/s. Car #2 has mass 2500 kg and is driving North at 20 m/s. Car #3 has mass 2000 kg and is driving South at 30 m/s.

a) If the three cars collide simultaneously and stick together, what is their final velocity (magnitude and direction)?

b) What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision?

c) If the collision last 0.5 seconds, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on car #1? You may neglect any effects of friction between the cars' tires and the road during the collision.

d) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars' tires and the road is uk=0.3, how far do the cars skid after the collision, before coming to rest?

please show the steps on how to solve each step.

The Cambridge Study of delinquent development was undertaken in N. London to investigate the links between criminal behavior in young men and socioeconomic factors of the upbringing. A cohort of 395 boys was followed for about 20 years starting at the age of 8 or 9. All boys attended 6 schools located near the research office.

The table below provides the following summary statistics relating family income and convictions.
