A 500-kg car traveling east at 30.0 m/s collides with an 800-kg truck traveling north at 20.0 m/s at an intersection. The vehicles stuck together after the collision. The coefficient of sliding friction between both vehicles and the road is two 0.300. Assume that the collision takes place on a level road. 1. Which of the following statements is FALSE? The kinetic energy of the system is not conserved during the collision. The friction between the vehicles and the road affects the motion of the vehicles after collision. The momentum of the car after the collision is equal to the vector sum of the momentum of the car before the collision and impulse exerted by the truck to the car during the collision. The final speed of the combined mass after the collision is equal to the sum of the initial speeds of the car and the truck.

A 0.250 kg toy car moving with a speed of 0.860 m/s collides with a wall. The figure shows the force exerted on the car by the wall over the course of the collision. What is the magnitude of the velocity, or final speed, of the car after the collision?
A block of mass m1 = 13.5 kg slides along a horizontal surface (with friction, μk = 0.31) a distance d = 2.3 m before striking a second block of mass m2 = 8.5 kg. The first block has an initial velocity of v = 9.5 m/s. a)Assuming that block one stops after it collides with block two, what is block two's velocity after impact in m/s? b) How far does block two travel, d2 in meters, before coming to rest after the collision?
PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER WITH SOLUTION A student (having a mass of 49 kg) falls freely from rest and strikes the ground. He comes to rest in a time of 0.387 s during the collision on the ground. The average force exerted on him by the ground is +31243 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. From what height did the student fall? Assume that the only force acting on the student during the collision is due to the ground for this problem.
A bullet flying horizontally hits a wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The bullet gets stuck in the block, and the bullet–block system has a final speed vf. Find the final speed of the bullet–block system in terms of the mass of the bullet mb, the speed of the bullet before the collision vb, the mass of the block mwb, and the amount of thermal energy generated during the collision Eth.

You’re an accident investigator at a scene where a drunk driver in a 2200 kg car has plowed into a 1400 kg parked car with its brake set. You measure skid marks showing that the combined wreckage moved 20 m before stopping, and you determine a frictional coefficient of 0.78. What do you report for the drunk driver’s speed just before the collision?
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
