    Calculating Speed in an Inelastic Collision

    hm.. ok. so is the mass not needed for this part of the question? (there is a second part to this question, you see) This is what I've tried after receiving your feedback.. Vx = 13.2m/s*cos43 = 9.65 m/s Vy = 20.1m/s - 13.2m/s*sin43 = 29.1 m/s Vf = sqrt((9.65m/s)^2 + (29.1m/s)^2)...

    Hi everyone! I've been on the question for a while and I'm not quite sure where I'm going wrong. If someone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! Problem Two ice-fishermen are driving trucks across a frozen and frictionless lake. Truck 1 (m1 = 1190kg) is traveling with a speed of...
