A 1000-kg car traveling north at 15 m>s collides with a 2000-kg truck traveling east at 10 m/s. The occupants, wearing seat belts, are uninjured, but the two vehicles move away from the impact point as one. The insurance adjustor asks you to find the velocity of the wreckage just after impact. What is your answer?

In an attempt to imitate Miley, Betty White launches herself onto a wrecking ball. If she is moving at 6 m/s when she jumps on the ball, how high does the ball swing? Assume: mbetty = 60 kg (~140 lbs) 450 kg (~1000 Ibs) Mball And that the initial velocity is purely in the horizontal direction, and the support chain of the wrecking ball has negligible mass. a) Solve for the maximum swing height symbolically b) Solve for the maximum swing height numerically c) If the wrecking ball support chain has a length of 5 meters, what angular displacement does the ball have from vertical at the highest point?
A 1500 kg car is rolling horizontally at 2 m/s. You would like to stop the car by shooting a 10 kg blob of sticky clay at it, also horizontally. About how fast should you shoot the clay? O 25 m/s O2 m/s O 150 m/s 300 m/s O 0.01 m/s
A 38.0-kg boy, riding a 1.90-kg skateboard at a velocity of 5.60 m/s across a level sidewalk, jumps forward to leap over a wall. Just after leaving contact with the board, the boy's velocity relative to the sidewalk is 6.00 m/s, 9.60° above the horizontal. Ignore any friction between the skateboard and the sidewalk. What is the skateboard's velocity relative to the sidewalk at this instant? Be sure to include the correct algebraic sign with your answer.
A 3.12-kg steel ball strikes a massive wall at 10.0 m/s at an angle of ? = 60.0° with the plane of the wall. It bounces off the wall with the same speed and angle (see the figure below). If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.206 s, what is the average force exerted by the wall on the ball? magnitude N direction
A 4.0 kg ball is traveling at 11.9 m/s and strikes a wall. The ball bounces off the wall with a velocity of 4.2 m/s in the opposite direction. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.10 seconds, then the magnitude of the average force on the ball during contact is? Enter only a numerical answer. Do not include units in the answer box, else your response will be counted as incorrect.
As it is sliding across ice, an internal explosion breaks an 80 kg object into two pieces. One piece has a mass of 33 kg and moves off with a speed of 15 m/s at an angle of 40° relative to the initial path of the object. If the object was initially moving at 20 m/s. (a) What is the speed and direction of the other piece after the explosion? Be sure to explain how you are able to determine this. (b) Compare the kinetic energy of the single object before the explosion to the total ki- netic energy of the two pieces after the explosion. Explain how this relates to the term 'explosion'.
Hunter aims his gun vertically and shoots a 465 g game, which is positioned, on a telephone pole. The bullet has a mass of 60 g and is traveling at a velocity of 450 m/s upwards just before it hits the target. The bullet passes through the target, emerging with a velocity of 295 m/s upwards. How high does the target rise after being hit by the bullet?
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
A 1.2-kg rubber ball of speed 8.0 m/s hits a floor and bounds back at speed of 6.0 m/s. Suppose the rubber ball is in contact with the floor for 2.0 ms, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the floor on the rubber ball? * O 1.2 kN. 7.7 kN. 8.4 kN. 9.1 kN. O 9.8 kN.
You’ve probably seen cartoons in which a person is blown backward by a sneeze. Could this actually happen? Suppose a 80 kg woman sneezes rather violently while standing motionless on a frictionless surface, ejecting 3.0 g of air and water vapor at a speed of 40 m/s . These are typical values for a sneeze. - If the air is ejected horizontally, how fast is the woman moving after the sneeze?
