Two cars are moving at a constant velocity when they are involved in a collision. What kind of forces are acting to each other during the collision? After the collision both separate from each other. One care comes to rest after 0.50s with an average acceleration of 80.0 m/s^2 in the direction opposite that of the car's. What is its speed the speed, in km/h, of the car right after the collision? what rule can be used if you want to determine their speeds right before and after the collision of two cars?
During the collsion, the fricitonal force between the cars exist. In this case, there is no dissipative force acting during the collision.
From the kinematic equation of motion
v = u + at = 0 + ( 80 ) ( 0.50 s ) = 40 m/s = 40 ( 3600 / 1000 ) km/h = 144 km /h

In the case of elastic collison, the law of conservation of momentum and the law of conservation of kinetic energy holds good. If the collision is inelastic, only momnetum of the system is conserved, the kinetic energy not conserved.

Two cars moving in the opposite direction have a head-on collision, in which both come to rest. Calculate the average force exerted on car A during this collision. Given: Masses: Car A = 1000 kg Car B = 1200 kg Speeds: Car A = 30.0 mile per hour Car B = 25.0 miles per hour Time of collision = 0.150 s.
Two cars of the same mass collide at an intersection. Just before the collision one car is traveling east at 50.0 km/h and the other car is traveling south at 60.0 km/h. If the collision is completely inelastic, so the two cars move as one object after the collision, what is the speed of the cars immediately after the collision? _______ km/h
A 1000kg car moving at 15m/s to the right collided head-on with another 1500 kg car who was coming in the opposite direction at a speed of 20m/s. After collision the two cars interlocked to each other, and the wreckage dragged with a new speed. What is the lost of kinetic energy during the collision ? A 1000 kg moving at 15 m/s to the right collided head-on with another 1500 kg car who was coming in the opposite direction...
Problem 1.6 Two cars travel at the same constant speed. The first car travels for 10 minutes, the second for 27 minutes. If the second car travels 18 miles farther than the first, how far does each car travel? Solve algebraically. Problem L.7 Two cars start from the same place at the same time. After two hours, one car has traveled 30Vo farther than the other. If one car's speed is 20 mph larger than the other car's speed, what...
3) Figure 3 schematically illustrates a collision between a pair of 1st and 2nd cars having respective masses Mi and M2. The collision occurred on a horizontal plane, the cars did not stick together after the collision, and there was substantial body damage to both cars. The 1st car was initially traveling east with speed Vio. The 2nd car was initially travelling north with speed V2o. The cars collided with each other at an icy intersection and an initial investigation...
When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less damage. In one such accident, a 1880-kg car traveling to the right 1.64 m/s at collides with a 1445-kg car going to the left at 1.09 m/s. Measurements show that the heavier car's speed just after the collision was 0.215 m/s in its original direction. You can ignore any road friction during the collision. What was the speed of the lighter...
Two cars are initially 21.50 km apart on a straight road. If the cars are moving toward each other, car 1 with a speed of 10.40 m/s and car 2 with a speed of 12.20 m/s, how many seconds will it take before the cars meet? Round your answer to three significant figures.
inelastic collision in a accident two cars travelling in opposite directions collide and stick together. the first car had a mass of 1000 kg and a speed of 20m/s, the second had a mass of 1750 kg and a speed of -15m/s. what is the speed of the two cars immediately after the crash?
When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less damage. In one such accident, a 1750 kg car traveling to the right at 1.40 m/s collides with a 1450 kg car going to the left at 1.10 m/s . Measurements show that the heavier car's speed just after the collision was 0.270 m/s in its original direction. You can ignore any road friction during the collision. Part A What was...
Two cars collide with each other. The initial speeds are 3 m / s and 2 m / s. Their respective masses are 100kg and 90kg. What will be the car speed of 90kg after the collision.
