A 2015 Prius Hatchback traveling due north collided in a highway intersection with a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder that was traveling due east. After the collision, the wreckage of the two vehicles was locked together and skidded across the level ground until it struck a tree. You measure that the tree is 11 m from the point of impact. The line from the point of impact to the tree is in a direction 39° north of east. From experience, you estimate that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the wreckage is 0.45. Shortly before the collision, a police officer with a laser speed gun measured the speed of the Prius to be 80 km/h and, according to a witness, the Prius driver made no attempt to slow down. Four people with a total mass of 230 kg were in the Nissan. The only person in the Prius was the 80 kg driver. The Nissan with its passengers had a mass of 2362 kg, and the Prius with its…arrow_forward
- A hovercraft is initially at rest but floating above land. The hovercraft has two horizontal thrusters. One provides acceleration of aNORTH= 5.15 m/s2 (NORTH). The second one provides an acceleration of aEAST= 4.75 m/s2 (EAST). If the north thruster fires for 7.33 seconds and the east thruster fires for 4.87 seconds, what is the velocity of the hovercraft after both thrusters fired?
