A truck of mass 16,718 kg drives down the motorway at 100.9 km/hr driving towards a large metal container in the middle of the lane. The truck manages to slow down to 59.4 km/hr before hitting the box, the impact with which brings the truck to a complete stop. If this impact causes the box to move off with a velocity of 43.3 km/hr, what is the mass of the metal container? ( consider the collision to be perfectly elastic and give your answer in Sl units

The 19-Mg truck drives onto the 278-Mg barge from the dock at 25 km/h and brakes to stop on the deck. The barge is free to move in the water, which offers negligible resistance to motion at low speeds. Calculate the speed of the barge after the truck has come to rest on it. 25 km/h 278 Mg 19 Mg Answer: v = i km/h
A 1500kg vehicle subjected to safety test suddenly hit the brakes and stopped within 50 meters from a velocity of 100 kilometers per hour. If each wheels carries equal braking force, determine the force at each wheel. 50m V1= 100 kmn/h O 2890N O 3012N O 3502N O 3822N O2995N 3320N
Two trains, one traveling at 60 mi/hr and the other at 80 mi/hr, are headed toward one another along a straight level track. When they are 2.0 miles apart, both engineers simultaneously see the other’s train and apply their brakes. If the brakes decelerate each train at the rate of 3.0 ft/s2, determine whether there is a collision. Show complete step-by-step process and solution. Note: 1 mi = 5280 ft
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 78.2° south of west at 4.20 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.

The flatbed truck is traveling at the constant speed of 61 km/h up the 0.0012% grade. The final 123kg crate to be delivered was shoved to the back of the truck, resulting in an initial relative velocity of around 3.17m/sec towards the back of the truck. If the crate slides a distance of 2.4 m measured on the truck bed before coming to rest on the bed. 1.) Calculate the block's acceleration. Hint: Grade(%) = tanϴ 2.) Calculate the kinetic friction coefficient between the crate and the truck. 3.) How long did it take the crate to cover a 2-meter distance?
