The driver of one car has a mass of 1200 kg and is traveling at 10 m/s westward when he collides with another car with a mass of 2000 kg that is traveling 15 m/s northward. The two cars stick together after colliding. Please show all work.

a) What is the total momentum before the collision and after the collision?

b) What are the speed and direction of the cars after the collision?

c) If coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.6, how far do they skid before coming to rest?

Answer #1

Here we have from conservation of momentum Initial m om entum --1200x10i +2000 x15j =-1 2000i + 30000 Magnitude ^ P2000+30000

    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...
