The figures below show bird's-eye views of six automobile crashes an instant 

The figures below show bird's-eye views of six automobile crashes an instant before they occur. The automobiles have different masses and incoming velocities as shown. After impact, the automobiles remain joined together and skid to rest in the direction shown by Ufinal Rank these crashes according to the angle, measured counterclockwise as shown, at which the wreckage initially skids. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. 10 m/s 1000 kg 10 m/s 1000 kg largest Vfinal e 10 m/s 01 1000 kg 7 m/s 1000 kg Vfinal Le 7 m/s B 1000 kg 10 m/s 1000 kg Vfinal Ke 7 m/s OT 700 kg 7 m/s 700 kg Vfinal Ze 9 m/s 01 1200 kg 15 m/s 700 kg Vfinal 0 15 m/s 1000 kg 10 m/s 1500 kg final Ke smallest
