**Physics Problem: Collision Between Two Cars**A 1.45 kg car (A) traveling at 0.8 m/s strikes a second car (B) with a mass of 0.59 kg that is initially at rest. After colliding, the second car travels at 1.21 m/s. Just after the collision, how fast is the initially moving car (A) traveling?**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram illustrates two cars positioned on a straight, horizontal road. Car A, on the left, is moving towards Car B on the right. An arrow above Car A indicates its direction of motion towards Car B. Car B is initially at rest before the collision. In the scenario:- **Car A (Initial conditions):** - Mass = 1.45 kg - Velocity = 0.8 m/s (towards Car B)- **Car B (Initial conditions):** - Mass = 0.59 kg - Velocity = 0 m/s (at rest)- **After the collision:** - Car B's velocity = 1.21 m/sThe objective is to determine the velocity of Car A immediately after the collision.

Casey is driving a 1600 kg car toward the east. She goes through an intersection at a speed of 16 m/s (approximately 35 mph), the speed limit on both roads of the intersection. Kerry is driving a car of mass 1200 kg into the intersection, going north, and doesn’t see or doesn’t heed a red light, and slams into Casey’s car. The cars lock together and skid to a stop. Later, the two review the scene with the police. Skid marks from the instant after the collision reveal that the two cars were moving exactly northeast. Kerry claims to have been driving at the speed limit, but Casey says that Kerry seemed to be going over the speed limit before the collision. Who is correct? Use the concept of conservation of momentum to make your case.

A student is driving a 1200 kg car at 42.0 m/s. He is tail-gating ("drafting") behind a 2500 kg truck that is going 40.0 m/s in the same direction as the car. (DON'T EVER DO THIS! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL) The car collides with the truck and the two vehicles are stuck together. How fast are they moving after the collision?
A car with a mass of 980 kg is initially traveling east toward an intersection with a speed of vc = 20.2 m/s and a 1500 kgpickup is traveling north toward the same intersection.

An astronaut of mass 65.0 kg is at rest relative to her space vehicle with nothing behind her except the empty,dark, vacuum of space. Another astronaut decides to play a practical joke on her and throws a 10.0 kg anvil(because those are totally used in space) at her with a velocity of 3.00 m/s. How fast do she and the anvil moveonce she catches it? Just to lower your anxiety, there is a way for her to get back to the space vehicle
