QIC A 1 200-kg car traveling initially at vci
=
25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the back
of a 9 000-kg truck moving in the same direction at vãi = 20.0 m/s (Fig. P9.12). The velocity of the
car immediately after the collision is vcf = 18.0 m/s to the east.
(a) What is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision?
(b) What is the change in mechanical energy of the car-truck system in the collision?
(c) Account for this change in mechanical energy.
