- Calculate the distance traveled by the second cart during the 5.0 s interval after the collision.arrow_forward2.3. A train car is sitting on a level track when a second car moves in. The second car hits the first, their hitches engage, and they move together. Both cars have equal masses of about 120 000 kg, and the second car initially has a velocity of 1.5 m/s. (a) Draw a diagram that illustrates the situation and include an arrow representing the velocity vector of the second car and a separate arrow representing ĉ, the unit vector for the coordinate system along the tracks. (b) Write vector expressions for both the velocity and momentum of the second car using at least two forms of vector notation that have been covered in class. (c) Just before the collision, what is the velocity of the center of mass of the system that includes both cars? Again, express this as a vector.

Even with limited resources to solve crime in the 1800-1900's, Holmes could solve countless mysteries. A carriage was North-bound traveling at a leisurely pace of 5 km/hr. It collided with a Westward-bound speeding carriage and they stuck together, skidding across the dirt at an North-West direction away from the point of collision.

What is the magnitude of the force of friction, in newtons, between the losing player's feet and the grass as he slides backwards? F1 = 2. What is the magnitude of the force, in newtons, that the winning player exerts on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 118 kg?
