- Two cars approach an ice-covered intersection. One car, of mass 1.10 103 kg, is initially traveling north at 10.1 m/s. The other car, of mass 1.55 103 kg, is initially traveling east at 10.1 m/s. The cars reach the intersection at the same instant, collide, and move off coupled together. Find the velocity of the center of mass of the two-car system just after the collision.

- A 7.6 kg block with a speed of 3.9 m/s collides with a 15.2 kg block that has a speed of 2.6 m/s in the same direction. After the collision, the 15.2 kg block is observed to be traveling in the original direction with a speed of 3.3 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the 7.6 kg block immediately after the collision? (b) By how much does the total kinetic energy of the system of two blocks change because of the collision? (c) Suppose, instead, that the 15.2 kg block ends up with a speed of 5.2 m/s.
