A 1400 kg car at rest at a stop sign is rear ended by a 1860 kg truck traveling at a speed of 20.9 m/s. After the collision, the two vehicles are locked together. Alice is moving past the collision site in a frame S' that is traveling at a constant velocity of 6.69 m/s in the direction of travel of the incident truck.

(a) Determine the momentum of the vehicles before the collision in Alice's frame.

(b) Determine the momentum of the vehicles after the collision in Alice's frame.

(c) Does Alice conclude that momentum is conserved during the collision?

2) A 654 kg SmartCar initially traveling at 7.40 m/s collides with a 987 kg VW Bug that is moving at -2.60 m/s. These velocities are measured in what we will call the “regular” frame: the frame of reference that is at rest with respect to the roadway. We can exclude external forces acting during the collision (momentum is conserved).Now treat this collision as being elastic. A) What is the total momentum of the system before the collision? B) What...

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?

After applying breaks to stop at a stop sign, a 1000 kg car (C) skids (wheels are locked) along the straight flat road (R) for a halt. The car was initially traveling at 15 m/s and it was brought to a complete stop within 3 seconds. Assume, no air resistance. i. Using a force diagram and the definition of the work done, identify if each force does positive, negative, or zero work on the system of the “car and the...
