Question
A perfectly inelastic collision between two cars: a Truck and a Sedan, where
afterwards the two cars lock together.
The Truck has a mass of 3850 kg and travels with velocity 75.0 km/h [E 25.0˚ S]
The Sedan has a mass of 2240 kg and travels with velocity 87.0 km/h [W 44.0˚ N]
Determine the velocity of the two locked together cars after the collision.

On a signal, each skater pushes themselves away fromthe other two across the frictionless ice. After the push, Skater A with mass 80 kg moves in thenegative y-direction at 3.5 m/s and skater B with mass 75 kg moves in the negative x-direction at4 m/s. Find the x- and y-components of the 90 kg Skater C’s velocity after the push. Assume abirds-eye view of the situation for your coordinates.arrow_forward
