One train (22,680 kg) moving east at 170 km/h collides with a car (1,200 kg) that was moving north at 5 km/h. They get attached to each other, moving in the direction of the train. What is the final velocity of the objects and the type of collision? If the collision happened in 1.2X10-3 seconds, what was the force? How much kinetic energy was lost?

The amount of heat required to change liquid water to vapor at its boiling temperature is 2256 kj/kg. the amount of heat required to change liquid mercury to its vapor state at its boiling temperature is 295 kj/kg. one kg of each substance is currently at its boiling point. how will the amount of thermal energy required to change each substance from a liquid to a gas differ?
