Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A , with a mass of 2000 kg, is going from west to east, while car B, of mass 1500 kg, i
s going from north to south at 15 m/s. As a result, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one. As an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 65∘ south of east from the point of impact. (a) How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision? (b) How fast was car A going just before the collision?

<h2>Answer:</h2>
The distance will be 1800 m
<h2>Explanation</h2>As in question
Time = 15 min
Time = 15 x 60 sec = 900 sec
Speed = 2 m/s
We know that
So, the answer is 1800 m
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Weight of jet
W = 2.25 × 10^6 N
It is at rest on the run way.
Two rear wheels are 16m behind the front wheel
Center of gravity of plane 10.6m behind the front wheel
A. Normal force entered on the ground by front wheel.
Taking moment about the the about the real wheel.
Check attachment for better understanding
So,
Clock wise moment = anti-clockwise moment
W × 5.4 = N × 16
2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 = 16•N
N = 2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 / 16
N = 7.594 × 10^5 N
B. Normal force on each of the rear two wheels.
Using the second principle of equilibrium body.
Let the rear wheel normal be Nr and note, the are two real wheels, then, there will be two normal forces
ΣFy = 0
Nr + Nr + N — W = 0
2•Nr = W—N
2•Nr = 2.25 × 10^6 — 7.594 × 10^5
2•Nr = 1.491 × 10^6
Nr = 1.491 × 10^6 / 2
Nr = 7.453 × 10^5 N
