Students in question are in the back of a 3200 kg moving truck travelling east at 50 km/h. The students intend on ramming the truck with their 2000 kg vehicle to force it to a stop. As the moving truck moves through a nice open parking lot, they travel at 80 km/h directly southwest (50 degrees south of west) and collide with the moving truck. Both vehicles become stuck together and move off as one after the collision. Treat east as the positive x-direction here, and north as the positive y-direction.

a) Find the momentum of each vehicle before the collision

b) Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of both vehicles after the collision

A car has a mass of 2000 kg which was travelling east but now has collided with truck with mass of 2500 kg which was travelling north. After the collision we see that the cars are stuck together and have slid 7.7 meters northeast at a 40 degree angle. The car driver claims the accident happened because the truck was speeding; the truck driver claims the car was speeding. The posted speed limit is 35 miles/hour. Determine from the location...

1. A 1000.0 kg car is moving at 20 km/h. If a 2000.0 kg truck has 25 times the kinetic energy of the car, how fast is the truck moving? 2. A car of mass 1005 kg collides head-on with a parked truck of mass 2010 kg. Spring mounted bumpers ensure that the collision is essentially elastic. If the velocity of the truck is 15 km/h (in the same direction as the car's initial velocity) after the collision, what was...

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
