A 100 kg bumper-car at a fairground (carA) is rolling along a level surface in the positive x-direction at a speed of 1.00 m/s. It collides with a second 120kg car (car B) which is moving in the same direction at a speed of 0.10 m/s. If the cars stick together after the collision, what is their common velocity?
Let the common velocity be V m/s
By the conservation of momentum we have
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)V
100*1 + 120*0.1 = (100 + 120)V
V = 0.51 m/s
so their common velocity is 0.51 m/s

A bumper car with mass m1 = 107 kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v1 = 4.6 m/s. A second bumper car with mass m2 = 98 kg is moving to the left with a velocity of v2 = -3.2 m/s. The two cars have an elastic collision. Assume the surface is frictionless. 1) What is the velocity of the center of mass of the system? m/s 2) What is the initial velocity of car 1...
A bumper car with mass m1-119kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v-4.5 m/s. A second bumper car with mass m2- 84 kg is moving to the left with a velocity of v2- 3.7 m/s. The two cars have an elastic collision. Assume the surface is frictionless
On an icy road, a 1600-kg car moving north at 23 m/s collides with a 2400-kg car moving east at 16 m/s. The two cars stick and move together. Let east be the x direction, and north be the y direction. What is the y-component of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision?
In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling in the same direction. The initial speed of the leading bumper car is 5.5 m/s and that of the trailing car is 5.9 m/s. Hint b. Assuming that the total mass of leading bumper car is 40% greater than that of the trailing bumper car, what are their final speeds? The speed of the leading bumper car (now 40%...
An empty freight train car of mass 10000 kg is rolling along a level of track at 2.00 m/ s . It collides with a loaded car of weight 1.96 * 10^5 n which is at rest . What is the speed of the train after the collision
A 1000kg automobile moving with a speed of 24 m/s collides with a 500kg car initially at rest. If the two stick together, what is the velocity (in m/s) of the two cars after the collision relative to an automobile moving in the same direction at 15 m/s?
12. A 1500-kg car traveling at 30 m/s east collides with a 3000-kg car traveling at 20 m/s south. The two cars stick together after the collision. What is the speed of the cars after collision?
A 900 kg car traveling east at 15.0 m/s suddenly collides with a 750 kg car traveling north at 20.0 m/s. The cars stick together after the collision. What is the velocity of the wreckage move just after the collision?
A 900-kg car traveling east at 15.0 m/s collides with a 750-kg car traveling north at 20.0 m/s. The cars stick together. Assume that any other unbalanced forces are negligible. a. What is the speed of the wreckage just after the collision? b. In what direction does the wreckage move just after the collision? c. How much kinetic energy is lost in this collision.
A 1100-kg car is moving at 20 m/s due north. A 1600-kg car is moving at 19 m/s due east. The two cars simultaneously approach an icy intersection where, with no brakes or steering, they collide and stick together. Determine the speed and direction of the combined two-car wreck immediately after the collision. magnitude=? direction=?
