An 1100-kg truck is stopped at a traffic light, when a 950-kg car going at 24.0 m/s rear-ends it. If the two vehicles stick together and move in the same direction the car had been going, find: (a) the speed of the combined wreck just aftedre the collision, (b) the amount of kinetic energy lost in the collision.

A car of mass 950 kg travelling north at 50 km/h collides with a car of mass 1350 kg going south at 45 km/h in a completely inelastic collision (i.e. they stick together). Determine the velocity of the car/car combination immediately after the collision. (North is the positive direction and south is the negative direction.) km/h

A truck with a mass of 1730 kg and moving with a speed of 14.0 m/s rear-ends a 743-kg car stopped at an intersection. The collision is approximately elastic since the car is in neutral, the brakes are off, the metal bumpers line up well and do not get damaged. Find the speed of both vehicles after the collision. vcar = ____m/s vtruck = ____m/s
