Using the momentum conservation equation,
The lost energy is:
Therefore, option B is correct.
A 1000kg car moving at 15m/s to the right collided head-on with another 1500 kg car...
A 3-kg toy car with a speed of 6 m/s collides head-on with a 2-kg car traveling in the opposite direction with a speed of 4 m/s. If the cars are locked together after the collision with a speed of 3.435 m/s, how much kinetic energy is lost?
A 3 kg toy car with a speed of 5 m/s collides head-on with a 2 kg car traveling in the opposite direction with a speed of 3 m/s. If the cars are locked together after the collision with a speed of 1.80 m/s, how much kinetic energy is lost?
A 3 kg toy car with a speed of 8 m/s collides head-on with a 2 kg car traveling in the opposite direction with a speed of 5 m/s. If the cars are locked together after the collision with a speed of 2.80 m/s, how much kinetic energy is lost?
A 900-kg car traveling east at 15.0 m/s collides with a 750-kg car traveling north at 20.0 m/s. The cars stick together. Assume that any other unbalanced forces are negligible. a. What is the speed of the wreckage just after the collision? b. In what direction does the wreckage move just after the collision? c. How much kinetic energy is lost in this collision.
An 64000-kg car moving with velocity 30m/s strike another car 3200 kg moving in opposite with velocity 90 m/s. if the collision in perfectly inelastic collision. What is the velocity of the two cars?
A 1200-kg car is moving at 16.0 m/s due north. A 1500-kg car is moving at 20.0 m/s due east. The two cars simultaneously approach an icy intersection where, with no brakes or steering, they collide and stick together. 1) Determine the speed of the combined two-car wreck immediately after the collision. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) m/sm/s 2) Determine the direction of the combined two-car wreck immediately after the collision. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
A 3kg toy car with a speed of 6 m/s collides head on with a 2kg car traveling in the opposite direction with a speed of 4m/s. If the cars are locked together after the collision with a speed of 2m/s, how much kinetic energy is lost?
A railroad car of mass 3.25e4 kg is moving at 3.25 m/s collides and couples with two couples railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction at 1.20m/s. A) what is the speed of the three coupled cars after the collision? B) how much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
A railroad car of mass 3.10 ✕ 104 kg moving at 3.40 m/s collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction at 1.20 m/s. (a) What is the speed of the three coupled cars after the collision? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
A railroad car of mass 3.15 ✕ 104 kg moving at 2.75 m/s collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction at 1.20 m/s. (a) What is the speed of the three coupled cars after the collision? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
