During the filming of a certain movie scene, the director wants a small car (whose mass is m1) traveling due east at speed v1 to collide with a small truck (whose mass is m2) traveling north. The director also wants the collision to be arranged so that just afterward, the interlocked vehicles travel straight toward the camera. If the line between the camera and collision makes an angle of theta with respect to north, at what speed v2 should the trucker drive?
Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.400 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 5.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. __________m/s
Consider a system consisting of three objects: Object A with a mass of 2 kg located at position (1, 0), Object B with a mass of 3 kg located at position (0, 2), and Object C with a mass of 1 kg located at position (-2, -1). What is the center of mass of this system?
