Answer:
31.75 m/s
Explanation:
h = 41.7 m
Let the initial velocity of the second stone is u
Let the time taken to reach to the bottom by the first stone is t then the time taken by the second stone to reach the ground is t - 1.8.
For first stone:
Use second equation of motion
Here, u = 0, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and t be the time and h = 41.7
So, 41.7= 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2
41.7 = 4.9 t^2
t = 2.92 s ..... (1)
For second stone:
Use second equation of motion
Here, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and time taken is t - 1.8 = 2.92 - 1.8 = 1.12 s, h = 41.7 m and u be the initial velocity
.... (2)
By equation the equation (1) and (2), we get
u = 31.75 m/s
Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum 
must be equal to the final momentum 
, and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:
Before the collision:
(1)
After the collision:
(2)
Where:
is the mass of the car
is the velocity of the car, directed to the north
is the mass of the truck
is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south
is the final velocity of both the car and the truck
(3)
(4)
Isolating :
(5)
(6)
Finally:
The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south
