Finding Acceleration of a Car Where Crumpling Occurs (Momentum)
80km/h = 22.2 m/s Through momentum: 1940(v_f) = 540 (22.2) + (1400)(-22.2) => v_f = -9.84 m/s I figured the work that the energy lost in a collision is equal to the work done to crumple the cars. So W = K_i - Kf = [1/2 (540)(22.2)^2 + 1/2(1400)(-22.2)^2] - 1/2(1940)(-9.84)^ 2 = 384110 J At...- Rippling Hysteresis
