Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A�, with a mass of 1900 kgkg , is going from west to east, while car B�, of mass 1300 kgkg , is going from north to south at 14.0 m/sm/s . As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 55.0 ∘∘ south of east from the point of impact.How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision?
You are sitting in a sled, at rest on a pond covered with nice, thick, frictionless ice. Your own mass is 64.8 kg, and the sleds mass is 21.5 kg. You start at rest, and then you jump off the sled, after which the empty sled is traveling at a speed of 4.25 m/s. What will be your speed on the ice after jumping off? 0.71 m/s 2.12 m/s 1.77 m/s 1.41 m/s
A 17.8 kg sled is sitting at rest on level ice, and this sled is hit by another sled that is twice as massive. After the collision, the sleds stick together and move off at 6.3 m/s. How fast was the larger sled initially moving just before the collision?
A 92 kg boulder , moving at 5.0 m/s attempts to pass directly across the adit of a mine. Just as the boulder reaches the end of the adit, it was met head-on in midair by two 75 kg miners, both moving in the direction opposite the boulder. One is moving 2.0 m/s, the other at 3.0 m/s . They all become entangled as one mass. What is their velocity after the collision? 18. What is the momentum of a 18 kg object traveling at a constant velocity that has 295 J of kinetic energy?
A hungry 6.61 kg fish swimming at 2.37 m/s swallows a 0.69 kg fish that was swimming towards it at 2.72 m/s. What is the final speed (in m/s) of the formerly hungry fish?
A 1500 kg aircraft going 35 m/s collides with a 2000 kg aircraft that is parked and they stick together after the collision and are going 15 m/s after the collision. If they skid for 123.9 m before stopping, how long (in seconds) did they skid?
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 stationary firecracker explodes into two pieces. The piece shot to the right has a mass of 0.07 kg and is traveling 45 m/s. How fast is the smaller 0.04 kg piece, which travels to the left? Ignore friction and air resistance.
A falcon with a mass of 0.258 kg is flying along at a horizontal speed of 8.2 m/s and it sees a 0.024 kg insect heading straight towards it with a speed of 11 m/s. The falcon open its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch. What is the falcon's speed (in m/s) immediately after swallowing the insect?
At the center of a 50 m -diameter circular ice rink, a 75 kg skater traveling north at 2.5 m/s collides with and holds onto a 60 kg skater who had been heading west at 3.5 m/s . How long will it take them to glide to the edge of the rink?
A 915 kg car is traveling WEST at 30 m/s. A 5479 kg truck is traveling EAST at 12 m/s. They collide head-on, and stick together. Assuming EAST to be the positive direction, what is the velocity after this collision?
