Boxcar 1 of mass m1 = 4 × 103 kg is moving down the railroad track with speed v1i = 4 m/s. It collides and couples to boxcar 2, which is initially at rest. Together they move down the track at vf = 2.8 m/s.
1) What is the momentum of boxcar 1 before colliding with boxcar 2?
p 1i = 16000 kgm/s
2) What is the mass of boxcar 2?
m 2 =

A block of mass m1 = 1.10 kg moving at v1 = 1.20 m/s undergoes a completely inelastic collision with a stationary block of mass m2 = 0.900 kg . The blocks then move, stuck together, at speed v2. After a short time, the two-block system collides inelastically with a third block, of mass m3 = 2.40 kg , which is initially at rest. The three blocks then move, stuck together, with speed v3. Assume that the blocks slide without...
