A car with mass 1500 kg traveling east at 25 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2500kg van traveling north at a speed of 20 m/s. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision and assuming no friction.
A 1000 kg car and 4800 kg truck undergo a perfectly inelastic collision. Before the collision, the car was traveling southward at 1.65 m/s , and the truck westward at 9.05 m/s. Find the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the collision. Enter the x and y components of the velocity separated by a comma. Assume that the positive x and y axes are directed eastward and northward, respectively.
Two cars approach an intersection at a right angle to each other. If an inelastic collision occurs at the intersection, determine the x component of the final momentum of the combined vehicles. Car 1 of mass 1,161.48 kg approaches the intersection from the left with a speed of 10.31 m/s. Car 2 of mass 1,132.58 kg approaches the intersection from the south with a speed of 19.46 m/s.
Two cars approach an intersection at a right angle to each other. If an inelastic collision occurs at the intersection, determine the x component of the final momentum of the combined vehicles. Car 1 of mass 1,206.86 kg approaches the intersection from the left with a speed of 18.02 m/s. Car 2 of mass 1,038.6 kg approaches the intersection from the south with a speed of 24.3 m/s
1-Dimensional INELASTIC Collision: A 1-kg mass traveling from left to right at 10.0 m/s hits and STICKS to a 6.00 kg mass that was travelling from right to left at 10.0 m/s. a) What is the final velocity (speed and direction) of the combined mass after the collision? b) How much KINETIC ENERGY has been LOST in this collision? c) Where did that lost energy go?

Two vehicles are approaching an intersection. One is a 2600 kg pickup traveling at 16.0 m/s from east to west (the −x- direction), and the other is a 1600 kg sedan going from south to north (the +y− direction at 23.0 m/s ). a.

Two vehicles are approaching an intersection. One is a 2400 kg pickup traveling at 13.0 m/s from east to west (the −x- direction), and the other is a 1300 kg sedan going from south to north (the +y− direction at 21.0 m/s ).

A 2000kg blue truck initially travels in the positive x-direction at 10m/s and a 1000kg yellow car initially travels in the positive y-direction at 20m/s. The elasticity of the collision is 0.7. use momentum conservation principles to determine all of the final velocity components for the two vehicles. How much internal energy is produced during the collision? Now make the collision totally elastic. (An elasticity of 1.0 is not reasonable for a car collision. Why?) Use momentum conservation principles to...
