On a snowy morning, a fast car skids along the road and runs into the back end of a truck. The bumpers of the car and truck stick together in the collision and the car and truck slide forward slowly after they hit. Describe this collision by explaining the following: What type of collision is this (elastic or inelastic) and how do you know?
What happens to the momentum of each vehicle in this collision?
Does this collision obey the law of conservation of momentum?

I) a gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes, a and b, between the same end states, 1 and 2, where p1 = 10 bar, v1 = 0.1 m3 , u1 = 400 kj and p2 = 1 bar, v2 = 1.0 m3 , u2 = 200 kj: ' process a: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure-volume relation is pv = constant. ' process b: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to state 2. kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, a) sketch the process on a p-v diagram. b) evaluate the work, in kj. c) evaluate the heat transfer, in kj.(ans : qb,12 = -65.0 kj)
