Two vehicles are approaching each other at an intersection. One is a 2500 kg car traveling 14 m/s from east to west. The other is a 1500 kg sedan going west to east at 23 m/s.

Step 1
The momentum of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass (m) by its velocity (v). Given: Mass of the car (m1) = 2500 kg Velocity of the car (v1) = 14 m/s Momentum of the car (p1) = m1 * v1 Substituting the given values: p1 = 2500 kg * 14 m/s Show more…

Two vehicles are approaching an intersection. One is a 2300 kg pickup traveling at 15.0 m/s from east to west (the -x- direction), and the other is a 1600 kg sedan going from south to north (the +y- direction at 25.0 m/s).

A car (mass 1500 Kg) is traveling north with a speed of 27 m/s. The car collides with a second vehicle (mass 2000 Kg) which was traveling west. The two cars collide and stick together and travel away from the intersection along a vector that can be represented as v = 11.0 m/s i + 15.0 m/s j. Determine the velocity of the second vehicle as it traveled into the intersection, i.e. before the collision.

A 1000-kg car traveling east a speed of 15 m/s collides with and attached to a 4000-kg truck initially moving west at 10 m/s. The final velocity of the two vehicles when locked together is
