A car with a mass of 1245 kg, traveling at +29 m/s strikes another car (2175 kg) traveling at - 10 m/s. If the two cars are entangled together after the collisions, with what velocity will they travel?
Added by Michael N.
Step 1
This is an inelastic collision because the two cars become entangled after the collision. - Mass of car 1 (\(m_1\)) = 1245 kg - Velocity of car 1 before collision (\(v_1\)) = +29 m/s - Mass of car 2 (\(m_2\)) = 2175 kg - Velocity of car 2 before collision Show more…

A 2190 kg car moving east at 10.5 m/s collides with a 3220 kg car moving east. The cars stick together and move east as a unit after the collision at a velocity of 4.74 m/s. a) What is the velocity of the 3220 kg car before the collision

Two 110 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Z at –10 m/s when they collide head–on. If the resulting velocity of Car A after the collision is –10 m/s, what is the velocity of Car Z after the collision?

if two car travels with velocities of 10 m/s and 20m/s.after the collision, a car moves with velocity of 5m/s then find the velocity of another car.masses of car 100 and 200 kg.(car travels one after one)?
