Two cars approach an ice-covered intersection. One car, of mass 1.10 103 kg, is initially traveling north at 10.1 m/s. The other car, of mass 1.55 103 kg, is initially traveling east at 10.1 m/s. The cars reach the intersection at the same instant, collide, and move off coupled together. Find the velocity of the center of mass of the two-car system just after the collision. Magnitude:
A 7951 - kg truck traveling at 7.33 m/s east collides with a 2262 - kg car moving at 17.2 m/s in a direction 56° south of west. After the collision, the two vehicles remain tangled together. With what velocity (magnitude only) does the wreckage begin to move? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Two clay balls collide and stick. Ball 1 has a mass of 3 kg and an initial velocity of 10 m/s in the positive x direction. Ball 2 has a mass of 10 kg and an initial velocity of 12 m/s in the negative x direction. What is the final velocity of the combined mass?
An pickup truck with mass 1.85 103 kg is traveling eastbound at +14.7 m/s, while a compact car with mass 8.55 102 kg is traveling westbound at -14.7 m/s. (See figure.) The vehicles collide head-on, becoming entangled. (a) Find the speed of the entangled vehicles after the collision. (b) Find the change in the velocity of each vehicle. Δvtruck= ? m/s Δvcar= ? m/s
In the game of medicine-ball-on-ice, players pass around a medicine ball while they are on ice, which can be assumed to be a frictionless surface. During a game, a 20 kg medicine ball travelling horizontally west at 20 km/h is caught and held by a 50 kg player, who is initially at rest. What is the velocity of the player after she catches the medicine ball?
A car with a mass of 980 kg is initially traveling east toward an intersection with a speed of vc = 20.2 m/s and a 1500 kgpickup is traveling north toward the same intersection. The car and truck collide at the intersection and stick together. After the collision, the wreckage (car and truck) moves off in a direction of 43.0° above the x-axis. Determine the initial speed of the truck and the final speed of the wreckage in meters per second. initial speed of the truck m/sfinal speed of the wreckage m/s
The physics department has called upon students to help set up a movie car chase and collision scene. The director has a 700 kg car traveling due East at 34 m/s. It will collide with an SUV, weighing 2800 kg, that is traveling due North. The vehicles will stick together after impact and head directly toward a drone that is carrying a camera. If the drone is flying at a 29 degree angle with respect to North (i.e., 29 degrees East of North), how fast, in m/s, does the SUV need to be going to get the exact shot the director wants?
Object A traveling east at 9.56 m/s collides with object B traveling west at 3.24 m/s. Object A has mass 5.11 kg and object B has mass 2.06 kg. The collsion takes place in one dimension, and is elastic. Taking east to be positive, find the velocity of object A (in m/s) after the collision.
Jack (mass 56.0 kg) is sliding due east with speed 8.00 m/s on the surface of a frozen pond. He collides with Jill (mass 49.0 kg), who is initially at rest. After the collision, Jack is traveling at 5.00 m/s in a direction 34.0 degrees north of east. Ignore friction. What is the magnitude of the Jill's velocity, after the collision, as she travels at an angle of 35.95 degrees south of east?
A car, with a mass of 1240 kg, is moving towards an intersection at a velocity of 26.6 m/s towards the South. At the intersection, it collides with a truck that has a mass of 1580 kg and is moving with a velocity of 14.0 m/s towards the West. When they collide, the two vehicles stick together. 15. The magnitude of the final velocity for the car and truck is Answer to 3 significant digits. m/s. (Record your answer in the numerical-response section below.) Your answer:
A 2.51 kg ball of clay is traveling straight north with a speed of 24.0 m/s, collides with a 3.55 kg ball of clay traveling straight east with a speed of 22.1 m/s. What is the speed of this new ball of clay after its collision? What direction is it traveling, given as a degree north of east?
A 0.60 kg cue ball (A) travelling at 1.5 m/s collides with a 0.50 kg numbered ball (B) which is at rest. After the collision, the numbered ball travels at θN30° from the horizontal and the cue ball travels at θC=55º from the horizontal. Determine the after collision velocity of the numbered ball.
