- 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 kg pickup 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 40.0° above the x-axis. Determine the initial speed of the truck and the final speed of the wreckage in meters per second.arrow_forwardA bullet (m (L = 2.00 m).

- A 44.0-kg boy, riding a 2.80-kg skateboard at a velocity of 5.30 m/s across a level sidewalk, jumps forward to leap over a wall. Just after leaving contact with the board, the boy's velocity relative to the sidewalk is 6.00 m/s, 7.60° above the horizontal. Ignore any friction between the skateboard and the sidewalk. What is the skateboard's velocity relative to the sidewalk at this instant? Be sure to include the correct algebraic sign with your answer.

To save herself, she throws one of her heavy boots horizontally, directly away from the closest shore. Sally's mass is 64.0 kg, the boot's mass is 5.00 kg, and Sally throws the boot with speed equal to 26.5 m/s. For all parts, assume the ice is frictionless and Ihat the positive direction is towards the shore.

The two vehicles stick together and slide along the road after colliding. A highway patrol officer investigating the accident determines that the final position of the wreckage after the collision is 25 m, at an angle of 50° south of east, from the point of impact. She also determines that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tired and the road at that location was 0.40.
