Physics

A car with inertia 1500kg is driving down a one-way street at 15m. An unobservant s

driver of a 2000kg pickup truck is driving the wrong way downthe street at −10 ms , and runs head on into the car. (Assuming thesystem consists of the car and the truck only)

a) What is the velocity of the car after the collision if thevelocity of the truck is 5 ms ?

b) What is the coefficient of restitution for this collision?What type of collision is this?

c) What is the velocity of center of mass of the system?

d) Find the center-of-mass kinetic energy for the system.

e) What is convertible kinetic energy of the system before thecollision?

  1. f) What is the minimum amount of energy required to conserve themomentum of the system?

  2. g) What is the total kinetic energy of the system before thecollision?

  3. h) What is the total kinetic energy of the system after thecollision?

i) What is the change in kinetic energy of the system due tothis collision? Since energy cannot be destroyed, explain whathappens to this energy.
