Two cars collide at an intersection and stick together. Car A, with a mass of 1200 kg, was going east at va = 18 m/s before the collision while car B, of mass 1600 kg, was going north at vg = 22 m/s. What is the speed of the cars after the collision?

Three carts are moving on a frictionless horizontal track as shown in the figure. The 4.00 kg cart is moving to the right with a speed of 7.0 m/s, the 10.0 kg cart is also moving to the right with a speed of 6.0 m/s while the 3.00 kg cart moves to the left with a speed of 7 m/s. Find the final speed of the carts when they are all stuck together. Hint: The order at which the carts stick together does not matter. Can you see why?
In the game of pool, all the balls have the same mass (0.17 kg). Look at the figure carefully. The white cue ball hits the black ball which was initially at rest on the table. The image below shows what happens to each ball. The black ball has a speed of 1.5 m/s after the collision. What is the speed of the white cue ball after the collision? 3.0 m/s a) 1.8 m/s b) 2.6 m/s c) 4.3 m/s d) 5.2 m/s e) 1.5 m/s 30.0° 60.0° 1.5 m/s
An archer shoots an arrow toward a 300-g target that is sliding in her direction at a speed of 2.10 m/s on a smooth, slippery surface. The 22.5-g arrow is shot with a speed of 42.0 m/s and passes through the target, which is stopped by the impact. What is the speed of the arrow after passing through the target? m/s
A 2,800 kg truck jumps the median and clobbers a 940 kg station wagon in a head-on collision. You are tasked with determining the truck's initial speed for insurance purposes. An observer states that the station wagon was traveling at a speed of 25.1 m/s and that after the collision, the two vehicles stuck together and were moving at a speed of 24.4 m/s in the direction the truck was originally moving. What was the truck's original speed?
A 8.3-kg falcon catches a 2.5-kg dove from behind in midair. What is their velocity in unit of m/s after impact if the falcon’s velocity is initially 42 m/s and the dove’s velocity is 1.8 m/s in the same direction?
A block of mass mm = 16 kgkg has a speed VV and is behind a block of mass MM = 65 kgkg that has a speed of 0.5 m/sm/s. The surface is frictionless. The blocks collide and couple.
