1. An 1850-kg truck traveling westward at 70.5 km/h collides at an intersection with a 975-kg automobile traveling northward at 97.8 km/h. (Hint: Convert km/h to m/s.) The vehicles lock together after the collision. (a) Sketch the situation and label the variables. (b)What is the x- and y-component of the initial momentum? (c) What is the momentum (vector) before collision? (d) Where’s the truck and the automobile combined headed to immediately after collision? (e) What is the momentum after collision?

A truck with a mass of 1800 kg traveling 32 miles per hour collides with a car (mass = 1100 kg) sitting at a stop sign. The two lock together and both cars slide into the intersection. Both drivers slam on the brakes in desperation. The coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.58. a. What is the momentum of each car before the collision? b. What is their combined momentum after the collision? Justify your answer....

A truck of mass 25947 kg is moving east at 63 km / h collides a car of mass 1271 kg moving west at 92 km / h. The Collision is completely inelastic and takes place on a frictionless road. Determine the fractional loss of kinetic energy after the Collision. Give an answer to one decimal place. Remember to add unit% after the numerical value.

A 2500 kg truck is traveling west through an intersection at 3.0 m/s when it is hit simultaneously from the side and the rear. One car is a 1500 kg compact traveling south at 4.0 m/s. The other is a 1700 kg midsize traveling west at 8.0 m/s. The three vehicles become entangled and slide as one body after collision. What is their velocity (magnitude and direction) immediately after the collision?
