If it is impeding traffic and the police officer says you can, then feel free. But generally, don't move the cars until the police tells you to. However, if you hit someone and they are trapped underneath, you should defiantly move the car.
A life-saver. ;-)
inertia (=
I will assume that the collision is completely inelastic (that is, the truck and the car coalesce, moving off with the same velocity after the collision). This assumption is crucial as without it, the question cannot be solved if the inelastic collision is maintained.Let the mass of the car be m. The mass of the truck is 8m.From the principle of conservation of momentum;8m(60) = (8m + m)vwhere v is the final velocity.So, v = 8(60)/9v = 53.3 km/h
When a vehicle is in a car accident there can be a secondary collision. For example, if car ÒbÓ was rear ended that is the first collision but when that car hit the car in front of them that is the secondary collision.
The second car will begin to move in the same direction as the first car after the collision, with a speed that depends on the masses and velocities of the two cars before the collision. Momentum conservation ensures that the total momentum of the system remains constant.
A Lot!
When a vehicle is in a car accident there can be a secondary collision. For example, if car ÒbÓ was rear ended that is the first collision but when that car hit the car in front of them that is the secondary collision.
The speed of each car after the collision depends on how the collision occurs. If it is an elastic collision, both cars will move with different speeds, determined by the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy principles. If it is an inelastic collision, the cars will move together at a speed determined by the conservation of momentum principle. More information is needed to calculate the final speeds accurately.
Collision is a slang term for coverage on your car if you cause the accident.
Yes Geico offers collision car insurance Geico Collision coverage pays for damage to your car when your car hits, or is hit by, another vehicle or other object.
An object in motion wants to stay in motion.
When a moving car hits a parked car, energy is transferred from the moving car to the parked car. The kinetic energy of the moving car is transferred to the parked car, causing it to move. Some energy is also converted into other forms, like sound and heat, during the collision.
