11. At a carnival, a dodgem car (with two heavyoccupants) of mass 220 kg, collides head-on withanother car (with two lighter occupants) of mass 160kg. Before the collision the heavier car is travelling 2ms-1, while the lighter one is travelling at 3 ms-1 in theopposite direction. After the collision the heavy carmoves backwards along its original path at 1 ms-1.(a) What is the velocity of the lighter car after thecollision?

Carry Collision Insurance! A 1,906 kg car stopped at a traffic light is struck from the rear by a 953-kg car. The two cars become entangled, moving along the same path as that of the originally moving car. If the smaller car were moving 26.7 m/s before the collision, what is the velocity of the entangled cars after the collision? (Assume the smaller car initially moves in the positive direction.) SOLUTION Conceptualize This kind of collision is easily visualized, and one can predict that after the collision both cars will be moving in the same direction as that of the initially moving car. Because the initially moving car has only half the mass of the stationary car, we expect the final velocity of the cars to be relatively Categorize We identify the two cars as an isolated system in terms of momentum in the horizontal direction and apply the impulse approximation during the short time interval of the collision. The phrase "become entangled" tells us to categorize the collision as…
