- A truck (M = 2500kg) collides with a car (m = 1000kg) at a 4-way intersection. Fortunately nobody gets hurt. Suppose the car is going north at 20m/s ( about 45mph) and the truck is coming from the east at 10m/s ( about 22mph). The car and truck stick together after the %3D collision. (a) Find the speed and direction of the car and truck immediately after the collision. (b) Approximately how much energy went into the deformation of the metal that caused the two vehicles to stick together? (c) What assumptions did you make? Thearrow_forward1. A hose sprays water into a train car. The hose is fixed in place and directed along the tracks, and the train car can move along the tracks without friction. The hose sprays water at a fixed rate a ([a] =MT-1) and speed v; the mass of the empty car is M. If the train car starts empty and at rest at t = 0, what is its speed at time t?arrow_forward6.
