Use the values from PRACTICE IT to help you work this exercise. Suppose the same two vehicles are both traveling eastward, the c

ompact car leading the pickup truck. The driver of the compact car slams on the brakes suddenly, slowing the vehicle to 5.79 m/s. If the pickup truck traveling at 18.5 m/s crashes into the compact car, find the following.
A. the speed of the system right after the collision, assuming the two vehicles become entangled
B. the change in velocity for both vehicles
C. the change in kinetic energy of the system, from the instant before impact (when the compact car is traveling at 5.79 m/s) to the instant right after the collision

The masses are, pickup truck mass of 1.73 multiply.gif 103 kg and compact car mass of 9.32 multiply.gif 102 kg

Answer:

A. v_{3}=12.17m/s

B. v_{car}=6.3m/s\\v_{truck}=-6.3m/s

C. ΔK=-4.13x10^3J

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the car and the truck are traveling eastward. I'm going to name the car 1 and the truck 2

v_{1}=5.79m/s\\m_{1}=102kg\\v_{2}=18.5m/s\\m_{2}=103kg

A. Since the two vehicles become entangled the final mass is:

m_{3}=102kg+103kg=205kg

From linear momentum we got that:

p_{1}=p_{2}

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{3}v_{3}

v_{3}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{3} }=\frac{(102kg)(5.79m/s)+(103kg)(18.5m/s)}{(205kg)}

v_{3}=12.17m/s

B. The change in velocity of both vehicles are:

For the car

v_{car}=v_{f}-v_{o}=12.17m/s-5.79m/s=6.38m/s

For the truck

v_{truck}=12.17m/s-18.5m/s=-6.3m/s

C. The change in kinetic energy is:

ΔK=K_{2}-K_{1} =\frac{1}{2}m_{3}v_{3}^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2})

ΔK=\frac{1}{2}(205)(12.17)^{2}-(\frac{1}{2}(102)(5.79)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(103)(18.5)^{2})=-4.13x10^{3}J

ΔK=-4.13x10^{3}J
