Impulse Momentum Collision and Inelastic Collision

A 1500 kg car traveling at 15.0 m/s to the right collides with a 4500 kg truck that is initially at rest at a stoplight. The car and truck stick together and move together after the collision. What is the final velocity of the two-vehicle mass? m₁v₁+m₂v₂=(m₁+m₂)v_f

• 10 m/s

• 3.75 m/s

• 5 m/s

• 2 m/s

A 10 kg donut sliding to the right at 12 m/s on a frictionless surface makes a head-on collision with a 24 kg bagel moving to the left at -18.0 m/s. After the collision, the first marble moves to the left at -22.5 m/s. What is the velocity of the second marble? m₁v₁+m₂v₂=m₁v₁^'+m₂v₂^'

• 22.5 m/s

• -32 m/s

• -3.625 m/s

• -4.825 m/s
