A 1200-kg car moving at 2.5 m>s is struck directly from behind by a 2600-kg truck moving at 6.2 m>s. If the vehicles stick together after the collision, what is their speed immediately after colliding? (Assume that external forces may be ignored.)

28. a stone is projected at a cliff of height h with an initial speed of 42.0 mls directed at angle θ0 = 60.0° above the horizontal. the stone strikes at a, 5.50 s after launching. find (a) the height h of the cliff, (b) the speed of the stone just before impact at a, and (c) the maximum height h reached above the grou

Afeather of mass 0.001 kg falls from a height of 2 m. under realistic conditions, it experiences air resistance. based on what you know about friction, what can you say about the kinetic energy of the feather as it reaches the ground? acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2. a. ke < 0.0196 j b. ke = 00196 j c. je = 0 j d. ke > 0.0196 j
