I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The kinetic energy after the perfectly inelastic collision would be zero Joules. <span>A </span>perfectly inelastic collision<span> occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer:
V = 4.63 m/s
V = 11.31 m/s
Explanation:
Given,
The distance traveled by the bus, towards north, d = 2.5 km
= 2500 m
The time taken by the trip is, t = 9 min
= 540 s
The velocity of the bus,
V = d / t
= 2500 / 540
= 4.63 m/s
At another point, the bus travels at a constant speed of v = 18 m/s
Therefore the velocity becomes
V = (4.63 + 18)/2
= 11.31 m/s
Hence, the velocity of the bus, V = 11.31 m/s
Kinetic Energy I’m not 100% shure tho
Answer:-2.61 m/s
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle, which establishes that the initial momentum 
must be equal to the final momentum 
:
(1)
Where:
(2)
(3)
is the mass of the first car
is the velocity of the first car, to the North
is the mass of the second car
is the mass of the second car, to the South
is the final velocity of both cars after the collision
(4)
Isolating :
(5)
(6)
Finally:
(7) This is the resulting velocity of the wreckage, to the south
