A 2.9 kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 4.8 kg cart. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +6.2 m s-!, and the second cart's velocity is -2.2 m s-!. If the first car has a velocity of 2.2 m s-' after the collision, determine the velocity of the second cart.

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?

14. GO A billiard ball strikes and rebounds from the cushion of a pool ta- ble perpendicularly. The mass of the ball is 0.38 kg. The ball approaches the cushion with a velocity of +2.1 m/s and rehounds with a velocity of -2.0 m/s. The ball remains in contact with the cushion for a time of 3.3 x 10-3 s. What is the average net force (magnitude and direction) exerted on the ball by the cushion?
You have been hired as an expert witness in a crash investigation. Car A of mass 1900 kg crashed into stationary car B of mass 1000 kg. You measure the coefficient of kinetic friction between the locked tires a was in park so the tires did not turn). Car A hits car B, locking bumpers so that they s bef nd the road to be 0.6 (car B kid off together.

Two 3011 kg train cars toward each other (Car A at 0.8 m/s, Car B at -2.13 m/s) on a level track. After they collide and couple together, what is the final velocity of the two-car object? Your answer should be in units of m/s but your should only submit the number for your answer (and don't forget to check your signs
You are the juror of a case involving a drunken driver whose 1044.0 kg sports car ran into a stationary 2047.0 kg station wagon stopped at a red traffic light. The cars stuck together and slid with locked wheels for 10.0 m before coming to rest. The coefficient of sliding friction on the dry road was 0.7. Estimate the speed of the sports car when it hit the station wagon. Estimate the instantaneous acceleration of the sports car during the actual collision if the colliding cars reach the same final speed after collapsing a combined total distance of 0.7 m.
