Question
A car (mass = 1110 kg) is traveling at 31.3 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2380 kg) traveling in the opposite direction. In the collision, the two vehicles come to a halt. At what speed was the sport utility vehicle traveling?

- At the intersection of Texas Avenue and University Drive, a yellow, subcompact car with mass 950 kg traveling east on University collides with a maroon pickup truck with mass 1700 kg that is traveling north on Texas and ran a red light (Figure 1). The two vehicles stick together as a result of the collision and, after the collision, the wreckage is sliding at 16.0 m/s in the direction 24.0° east of north. The collision occurs during a heavy rainstorm; you can Part A Calculate the speed of the car before the collision.
