- (a) A car traveling due east strikes a car traveling due north at an intersection, and the two move together as a unit. A property owner on the southeast corner of the intersection claims that his fence was torn down in the collision. Should he be awarded damages by the insurance company? Defend your answer. (b) Let the eastward-moving car have a mass of 1 300 kg and a speed of 30.0 km/h and the northward-moving car a mass of 1 100 kg and a speed of 20.0 km/h. Find the velocity after the collision.

- A freight train is being assembled in a switching yard, with two boxcars. Car 1 has a mass of m1= 61x10^3 kg and moves at a velocity of Vo1= +1 m/s. Car 2, with a mass of m2= 92x10^3 kg and a velocity 0f Vo2= +1 m/s, overtakes car ! and couples to it. Neglecting friction, find the common velocity (m/s) of the cars after they become coupled. Express in 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardThe figure shows two 21.6 kg ice sleds that are placed a short distance apart, one directly behind the other.
