29. At the intersection of Mukuba University campus and the Kitwe - Chingola road, a car of mass \( 950 \mathrm{Kg} \) travelling east collides with a light truck of mass \( 1900 \mathrm{Kg} \) that is travelling north on the great north road. Two vehicles stick together and the wreckage slides at \( 16 \mathrm{~ms}-1 \) in the direction \( 24^{\circ} \) east of North. Calculate the speed of each vehicle before the collision. This collision occurred during a rainy day and friction was negligible. 8

Step 1
Step 1: We know that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision because momentum is conserved. Show more…

At the interscetion of Texas Avenue and University Drive, a yellow subcompact car with mass 950 $\mathrm{kg}$ traveling east on University collides with a red pickup truck with mass 1900 $\mathrm{kg}$ that is traveling north on Texas and ran a red light (Fig. 8.37$) .$ The two vehicles stick together as a result of the collsion, and the wreckage slides at 16.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ in the direction $24,0^{\circ}$ east of north. Calculate the speed of each vehicle before the collision. The collision occurs during a heavy rainstorm; you can ignore friction forces between the vehicles and the wet road.
