- An 80 kg running back moving at 5.0 m/s attempts to dive directly across the goal line for a touchdown. Just as he reaches the line, he is met head-on in mid-air by two 75 kg linebackers both moving in the direction opposite the running back at 2.8 m/s. They all become entangled as one mass. What is the velocity of the football players often the collision?arrow_forwardA 17.8 kg sled is sitting at rest on level ice, and this sled is hit by another sled that is twice as massive. After the collision, the sleds stick together and move off at 6.3 m/s. How fast was the larger sled initially moving just before 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. What is the speed (in m/s) of the plane just prior to the collision?arrow_forward
- Object A has a mass of 50kg and is moving along the +x axis with a speed of 10m/s. Object B has a mass of 65kg, and is moving at 8m/s in the positive y direction. The two objects collide at the origin and stick together. What is their final velocity?arrow_forwardTwo hockey players traveling at 12 m/s (Player #1) and 19 m/s (Player #2) hit in a head-on collision. They grab onto each (face to face) in other to keep from falling and slide in the same direction Player #2 was traveling at a speed of 5 m/s. Player #1 has a mass of 100 kg. What is Player #2’s mass?arrow_forwardA 1500 kg aircraft going 35 m/s collides with a 2000 kg aircraft that is parked and they stick together after the collision and are going 15 m/s after the collision. If they skid for 123.9 m before stopping, how long (in seconds) did they skid?arrow_forward
- A fast car is speeding down a road with a velocity of v. It collides with a truck moving in the opposite direction that has a mass that is four times that of the fast car. They are both moving at the same speed. If the collision is elastic, then what are both of the vehicles velocities given as multiples of v.arrow_forward.arrow_forwardA 55.0 kg boy runs at a speed of 16.0m/s and jumps onto a cart that is initially at rest. The boy and the cart then move off together at a speed of 2.50m/s. What is the mass of the cart?arrow_forward
- A car of mass 2000 kg traveling east at 20 m/s strikes a 3500 kg truck traveling west at 10m/s. The car and truck lock bumpers and stick together. What are the final speeds of the car and the truck ?arrow_forwardA 1,120-kg car traveling initially with a speed of 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the rear end of a 9,100-kg truck moving in the same direction at 20.0 m/s (see figure below). The velocity of the car right after the collision is 18.0 m/s to the east. +25.0 m/s +18.0 m/s +20.0 m/s After Q (a) What is the velocity of the truck right after the collision?
