4. A railroad car that weighs 20,000 lb is traveling eastward with a velocity whose magni- tude is 5 fps. A second car, on the same track, that weighs 40,000 lb is also traveling in an easterly direction with a velocity of 7.81 fps. When the cars collided, they became coupled together and then both cars moved with the same velocity. If friction between the cars and the rails is neglected, what were the magnitude and the direc- tion of...

A 12,000 kg railroad car, initially traveling at 1.6 m/s, strikes three identical and connected railroad cars, initially at rest. The track is horizontal and frictionless. After the collision, all four cars move together at the same velocity. A.) Determine the final speed of the cars. (0.4 m/s). B.) Assuming the collision took 1.5 seconds, calculate the average force of collision. C.) How much non-conservative work was done during the collision? (-11500 J)
