Question
A 6,000-kg truck runs into the rear of a 1,000-kg car that was stationary. The truck and car are locked together after the collision and move with speed 4 m/s. Compute how much kinetic energy was "lost" in this inelastic collision.

The white cue ball hits the black ball which was initially at rest on the table. The image below shows what happens to each ball. The black ball has a speed of 1.5 m/s after the collision. What is the speed of the white cue ball after the collision? 3.0 m/s a) 1.8 m/s b) 2.6 m/s c) 4.3 m/s d) 5.2 m/s e) 1.5 m/s 30.0° 60.0° 1.5 m/sarrow_forwardAn 85-kg football player is running at 7.0 m/s and makes perfectly inelastic collision with a 105-kg linebacker that is at rest.
