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

A truck equipped with a massless spring in front crashes with a stationary truck. The mass of the incoming truck is six times the mass of the normal truck. While the spring is being compressed, the trucks are moving closer together, and while it is expanding they are moving farther apart, but at the instant that the spring is fully compressed, they have no relative motion, which means they are moving at the same speed. At this instant, the cars are moving with a speed of 4.2 m/s. Find the speed of the incoming car before the collision.

A 1000 kg car moving westward with a velocity of 10 m/s collides with a utility pole and is brought to rest in 0.25 s. Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the car during the collision.
A block is released from rest at the top of the frictionless ramp shown in the figure. Mass 1 is 1.27 kg and it is released from a height of 1.56 m.

(Take the initial direction of block one as positive.)
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
An 70 kg basketball player lands from a jump and tries to stop her forward motion or momentum. The normal contact force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 2800 N. The frictional force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 800 N and this force acts posteriorly on the player. There was minimal medial-lateral force during the landing and so this component of the ground reaction force can be ignored. What is the resultant ground reaction force exerted by the floor on the basketball player's shoes? How many times greater than the player's body weight is this resultant ground reaction force calculated in part the first part?
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?
