A driver traveling at 58 m/s in a car of mass 1100 kg runs into the rear end of a police car of mass 1400 kg, traveling at 25.52 m/s. The collision is completely inelastic, and all motion is restricted to a straight line. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Immediately following the collision, what is the shared velocity of the two cars? Answer in units of m/s. The engines stop working, wheels lock up, and the...

Traveling at 40.2 m/s, a driver applies the brakes to his fast-moving car and skids out of control on a wet concrete horizontal road. The 2000 kg car is headed directly toward a student waiting to catch a bus to campus who is standing 58.0 m down the road. Luckily, Superman is flying overhead and surveys the situation. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber and rough wet concrete is .800, he determines that friction alone will not...
