Let two cars have the same mass m. Suppose a car passes through a stop sign with out stopping at a speed of 5 mi/hr. Another car travels from the west at at speed of 70 mi/hr. The two cars stick together and travel off the road at some final speed v and the angle θ as measured relative to the +x−axis.
Assuming first car ti travelling towards +y axis or towards north
conservation of momentum
in x direction
m*70=2*m*Vx
Vx=35 mi/hr
in y direction
m*5=2*m*Vy
Vy=2.5 mi/hr
θ=arctan(Vy/Vx)

Two cars are approaching a perpendicular intersection without a stop sign. Car 1 has a mass mi =700kg and is heading north at v1 =15m/s. Car 2 has mass m2 =600kg and is heading west at an unknown speed V2. The two cars collide at the intersection and stick together as a result of the collision. The police report stated that after the collision, the two cars moved together in a direction 40° west of north and stopped after sliding...

Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at speed 2v, while the second was traveling at speed v at an angle ϕ south of east (as indicated in the figure). After the collision, the two-car system travels at speed vfinal at an angle θ east of north. (Figure 1) Find the speed vfinal of the joined cars after the collision. Express your answer in terms of v...

Two cars drive on a straight highway. At time t = 0, car 1 passes mile marker 0 traveling due east with a speed of 24.0 m/s. At the same time, car 2 is 1.2 km east of mile marker 0 traveling at 30.0 m/s due west. Car 1 is speeding up with an acceleration of magnitude 2.8 m/s^2, and car 2 is slowing down with an acceleration of magnitude 3.0m/s^2. At what time do the cars pass next to...
Two automobiles with equal mass approach an intersection. One vehicle is traveling eastward and the other vehicle is traveling northward. The vehicles collide and stick together. After impact they travel on the road and then travel on a gravel covered shoulder until both cars stop. Only the northward bound vehicle left skid marks at an angle of 55 degrees north of east. A police officer posted at the intersection clocked the eastward vehicle at 29 mph before impact. The northward...
Two cars drive on a straight highway. At time t=0, car 1 passes mile marker 0 traveling due east with a speed of 19.0 m/s . At the same time, car 2 is 1.2 km east of mile marker 0 traveling at 27.0 m/s due west. Car 1 is speeding up with an acceleration of magnitude 0.10 m/s2 , and car 2 is slowing down with an acceleration of magnitude 0.30 m/s2 . At what time do the cars pass...
Two cars drive on a straight highway. At time t=0, car 1 passes mile marker 0 traveling due east with a speed of 16.0 m/s .
