Answer:
67.6 m
Explanation:
For this problem, we just need to analyze the motion of the two planes after the collision.
The two planes stick together and move with a velocity of
u = 19.3 m/s
The problem tells us that they skid until they stop: so, their final velocity is
v = 0
Since the velocity is not constant, this means that they are accelerating.
We also know that they skid for a time of
t = 7 s
Therefore, we can find their stopping distance using the following suvat equation

And substituting, we find

Answer:
-929.5Joules
Explanation:
To get the work done by sam, we will calculate the kinetic energy of sam expressed as;
KE = 1/2mv²
m is the mass = 1100kg
v is the velocity = 1.3m/s
KE = 1/2(1100)(1.3)²
KE = 550(1.69)
KE = 929.5Joules
Since Sam is opposing the direction of movement, work done by him will be a negative work i.e -929.5Joules
