A blue car with mass mc = 481 kg is moving east with a speed of vc = 23 m/s and collides with a purple truck with mass mt = 1289 kg that is moving south with a speed of vt = 10 m/s . The two collide and lock together after the collision.
*What is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the car?
*What is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the truck?
*What is the magnitude of the momentum of the car-truck combination immediately after the collision?
Compare the initial and final kinetic energy of the total system before and after the collision:
_ *KEi = KEf
_ *KEi > KEf
_ *KEi < KEf
A truck of mass Mt is moving at Vt towards the East collides with a stationary car of mass Mc, and the two merge. Derive an expression for the final velocity of the car-truck system.
A car with a mass of 980 kg is initially traveling east toward
an intersection with a speed of vc = 20.9 m/s
and a 1500 kg pickup is traveling north toward the same
intersection. The car and truck collide at the intersection and
stick together. After the collision, the wreckage (car and truck)
moves off in a direction of 44.0° above the x-axis.
Determine the initial speed of the truck and the final speed of
the wreckage in meters...

A car with mass
mc = 1385 kg is traveling west through an
intersection at a magnitude of velocity of vc =
10.5 m/s when a truck of mass mt = 1984 kg
traveling south at vt = 12.6 m/s fails to yield
and collides with the car. The vehicles become stuck together and
slide on the asphalt, which has a coefficient of friction of
μk = 0.5.

A car with mass MC = 1.26 x 103 kg runs into the back of a truck with mass MT = 3.23 x 103 kg that is initially at rest. Immediately after the collision, the car is moving with a speed of 1.09 m/s and the truck is moving with a speed of 3.29 m/s, both in the direction the car was initially traveling. What is the total kinetic energy lost in the collision? (Of course, the change in energy...
Puck A of mass 240-g is traveling due east

a 1490 kg car moving east at 17.0 m/s collides with a 1820kg car moving south at 15.0 m/s, and the two cars comnect together. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the cars right after the collision? what is the direction after collision? How much kinetic energy was converted to another form during the collision?
A car of mass m 2000.0kg is moving at speed vi25.0 m/s towards East. A truck of mass m2 6000.0kg is moving at speed v2i-10.0m/s towards North. They collide at an m1- intersection and get entangled (complete inelastic collision). 1. What is the magnitude and direction of the final velocity of the entangled automobiles? 2.
