Consider the inelastic collision of truck with a stationary car. The truck has a mass of 10,000 kg. The car has a mass of 2000 kg. If the truck comes into the collision at 16.3 m/s, how fast are they going both going after the collision assuming they stick together with the truck pushing the car?

While driving down the street, your friend’s car was hit by a truck from behind.  The mass of your friend’s car is 1500 kg while the truck is 1800kg.  Your friend was driving 25 mph or 11.2 m/s. Assume that collision causes both cars to stick together and they do not supply additional power to the wheels after the collision. After the collision, the two cars slide to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.65 for the car and truck...

A car of mass 2500 kg collides with a truck of mass 4400 kg, and just after the collision the car and truck slide along, stuck together, with no rotation. The car's velocity just before the collision was <31, 0, 0> m/s, and the truck's velocity just before the collision was <-13, 0, 24> m/s. b)what is the increase in internal energy of the car and truck (thermal energy and deformation)?

Two frictionless carts collide and stick together in a perfectly inelastic collision, due to a magnetic or mechanical coupling, on a one-dimensional track. Cart 1 has mass 200 grams and an initial velocity of 2 m/s. Cart 2 has mass 900 g, and is initially stationary. What is the velocity of the two carts together 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...
