Two automobiles traveling at right angles to each other collide and stick together. Car A has a mass of 1200 kg and had a speed of 25 m/s before the collision. Car B has a mass of 1600 kg. The skid marks show that, immediately after the collision, the wreckage was moving in a direction making an angle of 40° with the original direction of car A. What was the speed of car B before the collision, assuming that any other unbalanced forces are negligible? O 16 m/s O 21 m/s O 14 m/s O 11 m/s O 18 m/s

The physics department has called upon students to help set up a movie car chase and collision scene. The director has a 700 kg car traveling due East at 34 m/s. It will collide with an SUV, weighing 2800 kg, that is traveling due North. The vehicles will stick together after impact and head directly toward a drone that is carrying a camera. If the drone is flying at a 29 degree angle with respect to North (i.e., 29 degrees East of North), how fast, in m/s, does the SUV need to be going to get the exact shot the director wants?
Gerald and Julia drove to Baguio and is resting in their car before they go to their inn. Their parked car happens to be 15.0 m from the edge of a cliff. The car's mass, plus that of their combined masses is 1050 kg. Julia's jealous ex-boyfriend ties an improvised rope to their car's bumper and a 90 kg rock to the other end of the rope. He then lowers the rock over the edge of the cliff (assume the interaction between the cliff and the rock produce a negligible amount of friction) and the car, which is in neutral, accelerates toward the edge. Assume the car experiences 42 N of frictional force. What is the acceleration of the car towards the edge? 0.790 m/s^2 O 0.737 m/s^2 0.810 m/s^2 0.880 m/s^2
A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 139-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.47 m/s to the right relative to the plank. (Let the direction the girl is moving in be positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) What is her velocity relative to the surface of ice? = ____ m/s (b) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the surface of ice? = _____ m/s
A soccer goalkeeper accelerates a ball from rest at a speed of 15 m / s for the time that his foot is in contact with the ball (approximately 0.19 s). If the ball has a mass of 0.44 kg, what average force does the goalkeeper exert on the ball?
A 1400 kg car moving at 21 m/s runs into a 1200 kg car mobing in the same direction at 14 m/s. The two Cars lock together, and both drivers inmediately apply their brakes. If the cars comes to rest in 18 m, what is the coefficient of friction between the car's tires and the road?
A skater of mass 72.5 kg initially moves in a straight line at a speed of 4.80 m/s. The skater approaches a child of mass 35.0 kg, whom he lifts on his shoulders. Assuming there are no external horizontal forces, what is the skater's final velocity?
. The fisherman's mass is 79 kg, and the boat's is 126 kg. The fisherman and boat are initially at rest when the fisherman throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally to the right with a speed of vi = 4.9 m/s. What is the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water. (Give the magnitude in m/s, and select the correct direction from the options given.) What is the direction of the boat?
A 3.45 kg black ball traveling 4 m/s has a head on collision with a white one at rest. Using the velocities shown, calculate the mass of the white ball, Ignore friction and air resistance. 0 m/s 4 m/s 1.4 m/s 5.7 m/s
A 4.0 kg ball is traveling at 11.9 m/s and strikes a wall. The ball bounces off the wall with a velocity of 4.2 m/s in the opposite direction. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.10 seconds, then the magnitude of the average force on the ball during contact is? Enter only a numerical answer. Do not include units in the answer box, else your response will be counted as incorrect.
An automobile with a total mass of 1500 kg is placed on a moving flatbed railcar. The flatbed is 1.20 m above the ground. The railcar is moving eastward at a constant speed of 8.2 m/s and has a mass of 38000 kg. The car accelerates westward and when it leaves the flatcar it is traveling at 23.0 m/s relative to the ground. (a) What is the speed of the railcar when the car leaves? (b) What is the distance between the car and the west end of the flatcar, when the car touches the ground?
Consider a race car colliding with the track wall (see figure above). Just before the collision, the car (with the driver) is traveling at a speed vo = 90 m/s along the straight line with an angle of θ1 = 31o from the wall. After the collision, the car is travelling at a speed of v = 46 m/s at an angle of θ2= −12o from the wall. The total mass of the car and its driver is 1542 kg. 1. Calculate the impulse (in kg⋅m/s) due to the collision. 2. Calculate the direction (in degrees) of the impulse. Measure the angle from the +x-axis counterclockwise. Give the formulas first then solve.
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?
