**Problem 7: Collision and Speed Calculation**A car with a mass of \(10^3 \, \text{kg}\) crashes into the rear of an SUV with a mass of \(3 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg}\) that is stopped at a red light. After the collision, the two vehicles slide forward together for a distance of 3.5 meters before coming to a stop. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3, determine the speed of the car at the moment of impact.

7. A 103 kg car smashes into the rear of an SUV of mass 3 x 103 kg stopped at a red light. The two cars skid forward upon colliding for 3.5 meters before stopping. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .3, what is the speed of the car upon impact?

8. a block with an unknown mass slides at 2.82 m/s on a horizontal frictionless surface and it collided with an identical block that was at rest. they stick together. they then slide onto w rough board that has a coefficient of friction of 0.331. calculate the distance they slide before stopping
Male bighorn sheep (120 kg ) engage in head-butting contests to establish dominance. High-speed photography has shown that the impact speed is typically 6.0 m/s and that the collision, which brings both rams to a halt, lasts approximately 0.25 s . Suppose the collision force increases linearly with time until it reaches a maximum Fmax , then decreases linearly to zero at t = 0.25 s. What is Fmax?
At an intersection, two cars have collided. Car 1 has a mass of 2200kg, moving west collided with car 2 with a mass of 1500kg moving north. The cars stuck together and skid at angle of 20 degrees north of west with a distance of 15m. Between the tires and the road, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.60. If the speed limit of each car was 50km/h, was either car speeding? Two things happened in this questions. There is a collision and then the cars slid to a stop together. a) consider the second scenario where the two cars were stuck and skid 15m to a stop. Using work energy Theorem, calculate the velocity righ after the collision and the two cars started to skid B) sketch the diagram of collision before and after the crash with labels of masses and velocities of both the vehicles C) from part A, we know the velocity of the two cars after collision. Determine the initial velocities of the two cars and find which car is speeding using conservation of momentum
10 kg weight starts at rest and then pushed rightly by a force of 59 N for 8 s on a horizontal, frictionless floor. force is removed, the weight hits a second weight with mass M, that is at first at rest, both move together at 25 m/s. Wha's the speed of the 10 kg weight after being pushed for 8 s (and before the collision)?
A drunk driver in a 2100 kgkg car plows into a 2000 kgkg parked car with its brake set. Police measurements show that the two cars skid together a distance of 21 mm before stopping. If the effective coefficient of friction is 0.74, how fast was the drunk going just before the collision?
A 980-kg 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. Question: What was the speed sports car at impact? v=??

10. A snowboarder starts at the top of a 160. m tall hill with a velocity of 3.00 m/s. The portion of the hill covered with snow is essentially frictionless, but the flat, horizontal section at the base of the hill covered with mud is not. If the snowboarder masses in at 80.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between board and mud is 0.750, how much distance is required for the snowboarder to come to rest?
