A car and a truck are both travelling at the speed limit of 60kilometers per hour but in opposite directions. The truck hastwice the mass of the car. The vehicles collidehead-on and become entangled together. Required:
a. During the collision, how does the force exerted by thecar on the truck compare with the force exerted by the truck on thecar? Explain.
b. In what direction will the entangled vehicles move aftercollision, or will they be stationary? Support your answer, referring to a physics principle.
c. Determine hte speed (in kilometers per hour) of thecombined wreck immdeiately after the collision.
d. How does the acceleration of the car compare with theacceleration of the truck during the collision? Explain.
e. Both the car and truck drivers are wearing seat belts. Which driver is likely to be more severly jolted in the collision?Explain.
f. The total kinetic energy of the system decreases as aresult of the collision. Is the principle of conservation of energyviolated?

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
