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 bound car skid on the road for 25 ft and continued to skid on the gravel covered shoulder. What is the total distance, in feet, the two cars traveled after the collision? Assume us = 0.96 and uk = 0.85 for the road and us = 0.74 and uk = 0.65 for the shoulder.

Two automobiles of equal mass approach an intersection. One vehicle is traveling with velocity 13.0 m/s toward the east and the other is traveling north with speed v2i. Neither driver sees the other. The vehicles collide in the intersection and stick together, leaving parallel skid marks at an angle of 59.0° north of east. Determine the initial speed v2/ of the northward-moving vehicle. m/s The speed limit for both roads is 35 mi/h and the driver of the northward-moving vehicle...
Consider the following two-caraccident: Two cars of equal mass collide at an intersection. Driver E was traveling eastward, anddriver N, northward. After the collision, the two cars remainjoined together and slide, with locked wheels, before coming torest. Police on the scene measure the length of the skid marks to be 9 meters. The coefficient offriction between the locked wheels and the road is equal to 0.9. Each driver claims that hisspeed was less than 14 meters per second (50 mph)....
Two cars approach an ice-covered intersection. One car, of mass 1.25 103 kg, is initially traveling north at 11.1 m/s. The other car, of mass 1.58 103 kg, is initially traveling east at 11.1 m/s. The cars reach the intersection at the same instant, collide, and move off coupled together. Find the velocity of the center of mass of the two-car system just after the collision. Please provide magnitude & direction (ex - 30 degrees North of West)
Two cars approach an ice-covered intersection. One car, of mass 1.11*103 kg, is initially traveling north at 12.1 m/s. The other car, of mass 1.70*103 kg, is initially traveling east at 12.1 m/s. The cars reach the intersection at the same instant, collide, and move off coupled together. Find the velocity of the center of mass of the two-car system just after the collision. Magnitude= Directions = North of East
Two cars approach an ice-covered intersection. One car, of mass 1.15*10^3 kg, is initially traveling north at 11.1 m/s. The other car, of mass 1.65*10^3 kg, is initially traveling east at 11.1 m/s. The cars reach the intersection at the same instant, collide, and move off coupled together. Find the velocity of the center of mass of the two-car system just after the collision.
