An old Chrysler with mass 1900 kg is moving along a straight
stretch of road at 48 km/h. It is followed by a Ford with mass 1200
kg moving at 40 km/h. How fast is the center of mass of the two
cars moving?
km/h
using the equation we have
v(com) = m1v1 + m2v2 / m1 + m2
= 1900*48 + 1200*40 / (1900+1200)
= 44.9 km/h
so the velocity of COM is 44.9 km/h

8. A car (mass - 1221 kg) is moving along a straight, level road at a constant speed of 8.95 m/s. The car then speeds up to 35.6 m/s in 12.4 s. a. How much work was done on the car during this time? b. What was the average power supplied to the car while it was speeding up?
A 1200-kg SUV is moving along a straight highway at 12.0 m/s. Another car, with mass 1800 kg and speed 20.0 m/s, has its center of mass 40.0 m ahead of the center of mass of the SUV (Figure 1). Part A Find the position of the center of mass of the system consisting of the two cars. Part B Find the magnitude of the system's total momentum, by using the given data. Part C Find the speed of the system's center of mass. Part D Find the...
A cycler is moving along a straight stretch of road after starting at/=0. The velocity of the cycle is given by the graph to the right. Assume that positive velocity represents when the cycle is moving away from its starting point and negative velocity represents when the cycle is moving toward its starting point. At what point in time was the cycle moving most rapidly? Explain your claim. At what point in time was the cycle at a maximum distance...
