A 900 Kg car is traveling east at 15 m/s when it collides with a 750 Kg car traveling north at 20 m/s. The cars stick together. What is the kinetic energy of the system after the collision?
let the x-component of final speed be Vx and y-component be Vy
By the conservation of momentum in x-direction we have
900*15 + 750*0 = (900+750)Vx
Vx = 8.18 m/s
Conserving the momentum in y-direction we have
900*0 + 750*20 = (900+750)Vy
Vy = 9.1 m/s
V^2 = Vx^2 + Vy^2 = 8.18^2 + 9.1^2 = 149.55
Kinetic energy = 0.5(m1 + m2)V^2
= 0.5*(900+750)*149.55 = 123384.5 J

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 3000-Kg car moving east at 10m/s collides with a 5000-kg car moving north. The car's stick together and move as a unit after a collision, at an angle of 45 degree north of east and a speed of 5 m/s. Find the speed of 5000 kg car before collision. (Ans: V_iy = 5.66m/s)
A 1890 kg car traveling at 13.3 m/s collides with a 2970 kg car that is initally at rest at a stoplight. The cars stick together and move 1.96 m before friction causes them to stop. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and all wheels on both cars lock at the time of impact.
