A 980-kgkg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2500-kgkg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 2.9 mm before stopping. The police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. v= ? m/s *0.40 and 0.76 m/s are wrong
Two cars are approaching a perpendicular intersection without a stop sign. Car 1 has a mass m₁ = 800 kg and is heading north at V₁ 15 m/s. Car 2 has mass m2 = 700 kg and is heading west at an unknown speed v2. The two cars collide at the intersection, and stick together as a result of the collision.

As shown below, a 850 kg car traveling east collides with a 1780 kg pickup truck that is traveling north. The two vehicles stick together as a result of the collision. After the collision, the wreckage is sliding at vf = 14 m/s in the direction ? = 21° east of north. Calculate the speed of each vehicle before the collision. The collision occurs during a heavy rainstorm so you can ignore friction forces between the vehicles and the wet road. Express your answers using apropriate mks units. A.) vcar,i = B.) vtruck,i = C.)
