1.) A car (mass=400 kg) is traveling down a country road (speed is 10 m/s) when it collides with a deer (mass=200 kg) which is running in the opposite direction (speed is 2 m/s). The collision results in the deer getting stuck on the windshield. Treat this collision using the 'conservation of momentum' principle: a) Draw a sketch - label each MASS and each VELOCITY (with arrows for direction). b) Calculate the final speed of the car (remember the deer is stuck on top of the car) after collision (Note: they stick together to form a single mass)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Mass of car=400kg

Velocity of car=10m/s

Mass of deer=200kg

Velocity of deer=2m/s

Note - car and deer move opposite to each other initially and aftter collision stick each other and move together.
