Answer:

There you have it. The y-component of air resistance for the fired bullet still depends on the fired speed of the bullet (since it is proportional to v2). A fired bullet (with air resistance) does not hit the ground at the same time as a dropped bullet.

4. A 1200 kg car traveling North at 20.0 m/s collides with a 1400 kg car traveling South at 22.0 m/s. The two

Dvinal [7]

Answer:-2.61 m/s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle, which establishes that the initial momentum $p_{o}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ :

$p_{o}=p_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$p_{o}=mV_{o}+MU_{o}$ (2)

$p_{f}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (3)

$m=1200 kg$ is the mass of the first car

$V_{o}=20 m/s$ is the velocity of the first car, to the North

$M=1400 kg$ is the mass of the second car

$U_{o}=-22 m/s$ is the mass of the second car, to the South

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both cars after the collision

$mV_{o}+MU_{o}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{mV_{o}+MU_{o}}{m+M}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(1200 kg)(20 m/s)+(1400 kg)(-22 m/s)}{1200 kg+1400 kg}$ (6)

Finally:

$V_{f}=-2.61 m/s$ (7) This is the resulting velocity of the wreckage, to the south
