Question

At the intersection of Texas Avenue and University Drive, a yellow. subcompact car with mass 900 kg traveling east on University collides with a maroon pickup truck with mass 1800 kg that is traveling north on Texas and ran a red light . The two vehicles stick together as a result of the collision and. after the collision, the wreckage is sliding at 16.0 m/s in the direction 24 degree east of north. The collision occurs during a Calculate the speed of the car before the collision. v = m/s Calculate the speed of the truck before the collision. v = m/s

Explanation / Answer

900u = (1600+900)16sin24 u = 18.077m/s 1600v = (1600+900)16cos24 v= 22.84m/s
