Two railroad freight cars with masses 130 Mg and 170 Mg approach with equal speeds of 0.320 m/s . They collide, the lighter car rebounding opposite its original direction at 0.270 m/s .
a) Find the velocity of the heavier car after the collision. Assume the original direction of the lighter car is positive.
b) What fraction of the original kinetic energy was lost in this inelastic collision?
Thanks

In assembling a train from several railroad cars, two of the cars, with masses 2.0 X 10^4 kg and 4.0 X 10^4 Kg are rolled toward each other. When they meet, they couple and stick together. The lighter car has an initial speed of 1.5m/s. The collision causes it to reverse direction at .25m/s. A) Write down the statement of conservation of momentum in the case of perfectly inelastic collision/ B) What is the initial momentum of the lighter car?...

When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less damage. In one such accident, a 1750 kg car traveling to the right at 1.40 m/s collides with a 1450 kg car going to the left at 1.10 m/s . Measurements show that the heavier car's speed just after the collision was 0.270 m/s in its original direction. You can ignore any road friction during the collision. Part A What was...
