A pickup truck with mass 1528 kg is traveling with a speed of 23.8 m/s, while acompact car of mass 1138 kg is traveling in the opposite direction with thesame speed. The truck and car undergo a head-on collision and thereaftermove together as a single body. What is the change in kinetic energy (AK) ofthe system consisting of both vehicles?

Given data: The mass of the truck, mt=1528 kg. The mass of the car, mc=1138 kg. The initial speed…

Answered: A pickup truck with mass 1528 kg is…

A bullet of mass 0.0366kg and an initial speed of 353m/s is fired through a block of material with a thickness of 0.435m. The average force exerted on the bullet as it passes through the block has a magnitude of 1439N. What is the speed of the bullet, in meters per second, after passing through the block? The block is firmly fixed in place, so it does not move from its initial position
As shown below, a 850 kg car traveling east collides with a 1780 kg pickup truck that is traveling north. The two vehicles stick together as a result of the collision. After the collision, the wreckage is sliding at vf = 14 m/s in the direction ? = 21° east of north. Calculate the speed of each vehicle before the collision. The collision occurs during a heavy rainstorm so you can ignore friction forces between the vehicles and the wet road. Express your answers using apropriate mks units. A.) vcar,i = B.) vtruck,i = C.)

A car with a mass of 980 kg is initially traveling east toward an intersection with a speed of vc = 19.7 m/s and a 1500 kg pickup is traveling north toward the same intersection. The car and truck collide at the intersection and stick together. After the collision, the wreckage (car and truck) moves off in a direction of 45.0° above the x-axis. Determine the initial speed of the truck and the final speed of the wreckage.
