A car with mass 1140 kg crashes into a wall.
The car’s velocity immediately before the col-
lision was 11.2 m/s and the bumper is com-
pressed like a spring with spring constant
1.14 × 107 N/m.
What is the maximum deformation of the
bumper for this collision?
Answer in units of m.

A runaway railroad car with mass 3.0 105 kg coasts across a level track at 2.0 m/s when it collides elastically with a spring-loaded bumper at the end of the track. If the spring constant of the bumper is 2.0 106 N/m, what is the maximum compression of the spring during the collision?

An automobile having a mass of 1000 kg is driven into a brick wall in a safety test. The bumper behaves like a spring of constant 4.75 106 N/m and is compressed 3.12 cm as the car is brought to rest. What was the speed of the car before impact, assuming that no energy is lost in the collision with the wall?

A car of mass 2300 kg collides with a truck of mass 4000 kg, and just after the collision the car and truck slide along, stuck together, with no rotation. The car's velocity just before the collision was < 31, 0, 0 > m/s, and the truck's velocity just before the collision was < -10, 0, 29 > m/s.

What is the increase in internal energy of the car and truck (thermal energy and deformation)?
