Problem 18CQ

A small pickup truck that has a camper shell slowly coasts toward a red light with negligible friction. Two dogs in the back of the truck are moving and making various inelastic collisions with each other and the walls. What is the effect of the dogs on the motion of the center of mass of the system (truck plus entire load)? What is their effect on the motion of the truck?

What is the effect of the dogs on the motion of the center of mass of the system (truck plus entire load)? What is their effect on the motion of the truck?

ANSWER:

Solution to 18CQ

Step 1 of 2

We need to comment how does the dogs in inelastic collisions with each other and the wall of the truck will effect the center of mass and the motion of the truck.
