Question

A student is driving a 1200 kg car at 42.0 m/s. He is tail-gating ("drafting") behind a 2500 kg truck that is going 40.0 m/s in
the same direction as the car. (DON'T EVER DO THIS! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL) The car collides with
the truck and the two vehicles are stuck together. How fast are they moving after the collision?

A 1.90 kg box is moving to the right with speed 9.00 m/s on a horizontal, frictionless surface. At t = 0 a horizontal force is applied to the box. The force is directed to the left and has magnitude F(t)=( 6.00 N/s^2 )t2 If the force continues to be applied, what is the velocity of the box at 3.50 s?
You are sitting in a sled, at rest on a pond covered with nice, thick, frictionless ice. Your own mass is 76.3 kg, and the sleds mass is 10.8 kg. The sled is moving by itself on the ice at 3.07 m/s. You parachute vertically down onto the sled, and land gently. What is the sleds velocity with you now on it? 0.49 m/s 0.44 m/s 0.38 m/s 0.23 m/s

Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at speed v0v0. A fourth car traveling east at 2v0v0 catches up with the three and couples to make a four-car train. A moment later, the train cars hit a fifth car that was at rest on the tracks, and it couples to make a five-car train.What is the speed of the five-car train?
Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (see figure below). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.70 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 79.1° south of west at 4.25 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one car reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver. The two bumper cars move off together after the collision, and friction is negligible between the cars and the ground. W-OE Car 2 Car 1 Vii (a) If the masses of bumper cars 1 and 2 are 596 kg and 625 kg respectively, what is the velocity of the bumper cars immediately after the collision? magnitude m/s direction ° east of south (b) What is the kinetic energy lost in the collision?
