- A student is driving a 1200 kg car at 42.0 m/s. He is tail-gating ("drafting") behind a 2500 kg truck that is going 40.0 m/s in the same direction as the car. (DON'T EVER DO THIS! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL) The car collides with the truck and the two vehicles are stuck together. How fast are they moving after the collision?arrow_forwardAt the local radio controlled (RC) airfield, a 2.4 kg RC plane strikes a 1.2 kg aerial drone that is hovering stationary at an altitude of 9.6 m. Just after the collision, the two aircraft are stuck together and moving to the east at 9 m/s at an altitude of 9.6 m.

The breaking phase lasts .3 seconds and the propulsion phase lasts .33 seconds.
