A car of mass 735 kg traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s in the positive x-direction crashes into the rear of a truck of mass 1,480 kg that is at rest and in neutral at an intersection. If the collision is inelastic and the truck moves forward at 13.5 m/s, what is the velocity of the car after the collision? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume the collision is head-on so that the motion of both vehicles remains entirely along the x-direction) m/s

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A car with mass 1.40 x 10³ kg traveling east at a speed of 28.4 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2.60 x 10³ kg van traveling north at a speed of 17.2 m/s, as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction between the vehicles and the road can be neglected. 60.7 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. m/s direction 48.9 counterclockwise from the +x-axis k HINTS: magnitude EXERCISE GETTING STARTED 1 I'M STUCK!
A ball of mass 8 kg and moving to the right has a velocity of 8.2 m/s and is in a head-on collision with another ball of mass 4.8 kg and moving to the left at 4.6 m/s. Determine their final velocities if the collision is perfectly elastic and perfectly inelastic. Illustrate the motion.

Two identical 1350-kg automobiles A and B are at rest with their brakes released when B is struck by a 5600-kg truck C which is moving to the left at 8 km/h. A second collision then occurs when B strikes A. Assuming the first collision is perfectly plastic and the second collision is perfectly elastic, determine the velocities of the three vehicles just after the second collision. The velocity of car A is VA = km/hr + km/hr +. The velocity of car B is vg= The velocity of truck C is vc= km/hr ←.
