Question
A car with mass mc = 1382 kg is traveling west through an intersection at a magnitude of velocity of vc = 15 m/s when a truck of mass mt = 1680 kg traveling south at vt = 8.4m/s fails to yield and collides with the car. The vehicles become stuck together and slide on the asphalt, which has a coefficient of friction of μk = 0.5.
How far, in meters, will the vehicles slide after the collision?

- The mass of a regulation tennis ball is 57.0 g (although it can vary slightly), and tests have shown that the ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30 ms. (This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We assume a 59.0 g ball and a 26.0 ms contact time in this problem. In the 2011 Davis Cup competition, Ivo Karlovic made one of the fastest recorded serves in history, which was clocked at 156 mi//h (70 m/s). Part A: What impulse did Karlovic exert on the tennis ball in his record serve? Take the +x direction to be along the final direction of motion of the ball. Part B: What average force did Karlovic exert on the tennis ball in his record serve? Part C: If his opponent returned this serve with a speed of 55.0 m/s, what impulse did his opponent exert on the ball, assuming purely horizontal motion? Take the +x direction to be in the direction the ball is traveling before it is hit by the opponent.

Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.70 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 79.1° south of west at 4.25 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one car reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver. The two bumper cars move off together after the collision, and friction is negligible between the cars and the ground.

Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface μk is 0.43. When the metal object hits the block, it is stuck with the block and both start to slide together with velocity vf. They move together after the collision, and stop after sliding ∆x = 1.95 m. What is the initial velocity vi of the metal object before it hits the block in m/s? Keep three significant figures for the answer.arrow_forwardA toy car having mass m = 1.50 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.60 kg.

Immediately after the collision, the toy car is observed moving in the positive x-direction with a velocity of 1.90 m/s. Determine the change ΔKE in the total kinetic energy.
