Two 2000 ?kg cars are traveling 95 km/h in opposite directions when they collide and are brought to rest.
Part A
Estimate the change in entropy of the universe as a result of this collision. Assume T=25?C.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
total energy of the two cars are = sum of their kinetic energy
90 km/h = 95*1000/3600 = 26.4 m/s
so total kinetic energy = {(2*0.5*2000*26.4 2)} =
1393920 j
change in entropy = (change in heat energy / temperature )
as body comes in the rest so no other form of energy are changing. only kinetic energy are converted into the heat loss.
hence, entropy change = (1393920/(25+273)) (chnage temperature in kelvin)
4677.58 j/K

Two railroad cars, each of mass 58000 kg and traveling 65 km/h in opposite directions, collide head-on and come to rest. How much thermal energy is produced in this collision?
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?
Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 2000 kg, is going from west to east, while car of mass 1500 kg, is going from north to south at 15 m/s. As a result, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one. As an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 67° south of east from the point of impact. How fast...
Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 2000 kg , is going from west to east, while car B, of mass 1400 kg , is going from north to south at 12.0 m/s . As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterward. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of...
