Car A of mass 2000 kg moving at 72 km/h east overtakes car B of mass 1250 kg and moving at 60 km/h east. Car A collides with car B and stick together after collision. Find their velocity after collision.
Added by Lu-S V.
Step 1
For car A: 72 km/h = 72 * 1000 m/3600 s = 20 m/s For car B: 60 km/h = 60 * 1000 m/3600 s = 16.67 m/s Show more…

A car with a mass of 1000 kg traveling east at a speed of 25 m/s collides at an intersection with another car of 2000 kg traveling north at a speed of 20 m/s. Assuming that the vehicles stick together after the collision, calculate for: a. The direction of the wreckage after the collision. b. The magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage after collision

A $2000-\mathrm{kg}$ car moving east at $10.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ collides with a $3000-\mathrm{kg}$ car moving north. The cars stick together and move as a unit after the collision, at an angle of $40.0^{\circ}$ north of east and a speed of $5.22 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. Find the speed of the $3000-\mathrm{kg}$ car before the collision.
