“A 800 kg motorcycle is traveling at 30 m/s to the right, and it collides with a 1200 kg truck moving at 10 m/s to the left. After the collision, they stick together. Calculate their final velocity after the collision. Show all work. A 1500 kg car is moving at 25 m/s to the right, and it collides with a 500 kg bicycle moving at 15 m/s to the left. After the collision, they stick together. Calculate their final velocity after the collision. Show all work.”
