Physics question of the week (2)
A 1750 kg truck is heading east at 15 m/s when it collides with a 1300 kg car traveling
west. After the collision the car and truck are stuck together and slide west at 4.0 m/s.
a)What was the initial velocity of the car?
b) What was the impulse felt by the truck?
c) Was this collision elastic or inelastic?
