Answer:
U2 = 47.38m/s = initial velocity of B before impact
Explanation:
An example of the diagram is shown in the attached file because of missing angle of direction in the question
Mass A, B are mass of cars
A = 1965
B =1245
U1 = initial velocity of A = 52km/hr
U2 = initial velocity of B
V = common final velocity of two cars
BU2 = (A + B)*V sin ¤ ...eq1 y plane
AU1 = (A + B) *V cos ¤ ....equ 2plane
From equ 2
V = AU1/(A + B)*cos ¤
Substitute V into equation 1
We have
U2 = (AU1/B)tan ¤ where ¤ = angle of direction which is taken to be 30°
Substitute all parameters to get
U2 = (1965/1245)*52 * tan 30°
U2 = 47.38m/s
Newtons 1st law of motion states that the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction until an outside force acts upon it.
So unless the objects inside the car are restrained, they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling at, even if the car is stopped by a crash.
