Question

A 1100-kg car is backing out of a parking space at 5.2 m/s . The unobservant driver of a 1800-kg pickup truck is coasting through the parking lot at a speed of 3.2 m/s and runs straight into the rear bumper of the car.

A.

What is the change in internal energy of the two-vehicle system if the velocity of the pickup is 1.5 m/s backward after they collide?        
Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the energy increases and negative value if the energy decreases.
 
B.What is the coefficient of restitution for this collision?      
Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

The mass of the car: m subscript 1 equals 1100 space kg

The initial velocity of the car before the collision: u subscript 1 equals negative 5.2 space straight m divided by straight s (negative sign indicates that the car is backing up before the collision)

The mass of the truck: m subscript 2 equals 1800 space kg

The initial velocity of the truck before the collision: u subscript 2 equals 3.2 space straight m divided by straight s

The final velocity of the truck after the collision: v subscript 2 equals negative 1.5 space straight m divided by straight s (negative sign indicates that the goes truck backwards after the collision)
