8-75. Two trucks have a completely inelastic collision. After the
collision,
they have a common velocity of 11 m/s at 35o south of west.
Before the collision, one truck (mass 2.3x104 kg) has a
velocity
of 15 m/s at 51o south of west. Determine the initial
velocity
(magnitude and direction) of the other truck (mass 1.2x104
kg).
Correct
The objects join together and proceed as one
object with combined mass and maximum loss of energy.
This is a problem involving:
(A)
Conservation
of Mechanical Energy.
(B)
Conservation
of momentum.
(C)
Conservation
of velocity.
