Two cars drive on a straight highway. At time t=0, car 1 passes mile marker 0 traveling due east with a speed of 20.0 m/s . At the same time, car 2 is 1.0 km east of mile marker 0 traveling at 26.0 m/s due west. Car 1 is speeding up with an acceleration of magnitude 0.30 m/s2 , and car 2 is slowing down with an acceleration of magnitude 0.50 m/s2 . At what time do the cars pass next to one another? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1050 kg and was approaching at 9.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 800 kg and was approaching at 20.0 m/s due west. (a) Calculate the final velocity of the cars. (Note that since both cars have an initial velocity, you cannot use the equations for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis; instead, you must look...
