A 1610 kg car is traveling east at 22. m/s and a 3100. kg minivan traveling west at a speed of 11.0 m/s collide head on. Assuming a completely inelastic collision, what is the velocity in m/s of the “connected”
vehicle after the crash?

Im pretty sure its 11 m/s east because it is 22 m/s hitting 11 m/s and the force is harder hitting

Explanation:

im not 100% sure becasue i did this stuff a while ago

a.) travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.

air is a gas water is a liquid

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
