Two cars of the same mass drive with the same speed of 60 miles per hour. They approach each other at an angle of 90 degrees. What is the speed (in miles per hour) of the two cars, after they undergo a completely inelastic collision and continue to move jointly into the 45 degrees direction? (Moving jointly into the 45 degrees direction means that after the collision the two cars move together into the direction right between the directions of the two cars prior to the collision.)

A: 15 B: 30. C: 42 D: 60. E: 85

a) Two objects with the same mass move toward each other with the same speed and experience a head-on elastic collision (angle = 180o). Will their final velocities be the same? Why? b)Two objects moving toward each other (angle = 180o) with different momentums produce an inelastic collision. In what condition will both objects move to the left after the collision.

Two cars arriving at a T-intersection crash with each other. The first car has a mass of 1320kg and was traveling east at 80.0 km/h, the second car has a mass of 1740kg and was traveling north at 65.0km/h. If the collision is completely inelastic. with what speed are the wrecks moving after the collision and in which direction? You can ignore the effect of friction forces between the road and the cars during the collision.

Two cars of equal mass are traveling as shown in the figure below just before undergoing a collision. Before the collision, one of the cars has a speed of 17 m/s along +x, and the other has a speed of 29 m/s along +y. The cars lock bumpers and then slide away together after the collision. What are the magnitude and direction of their final velocity?
