A 1500 kg car traveling at 10 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in FIGURE EX10.11. The alert driver immediately puts the car in neutral so that it will roll. What will be the car’s speed as it coasts into the gas station on the other side of the valley?

- A ball with mass mA = 2.42 g moves eastward with speed vA = 1.73 m/s. It then collides with another ball of mass mB = 1.25 g and is moving northward with a speed vB = 2.26 m/s. After the collision, ball A now moves at 48° north of east, while ball B moves at 17° south of east. A. What are the speeds of the two balls after the collision? B. Is energy lost or gained in the system? Support your answer by calculating the change in mechanical energy of the system.arrow_forwardA stationary but movable 400 kg cannon is fired, and the 10 kg cannonball moves off to the right with a velocity of 20.0 m/s .
