This is an inelastic collision so only momentum is
conserved. Initial momentum of the system of cars, Pi, is
Pi = m1*v1 + m2*v2 = 170000*0.3 kg-m/s + 115000*(-0.12) kg-m/s =
3.72x10^4 kg-m/s
Now the final momentum Pf = (m1+m2)*v3 so
Pi =Pf ---> Pi = (m1+m2)*v3 ---> v3 = Pi/(m1+m2) = 3.72x10^4
(kg-ms/)(170,000+115,000 kg)
v3 = 0.130 m/s in the direction that m1 was travelling in

Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, the first having a mass of 140,000 kg and a velocity of 0.300 m/s, and the second having a mass of 125,000 kg and a velocity of −0.120 m/s. (The minus indicates direction of motion.) What is their final velocity (in m/s)?

One train car of mass 50,000 kg (50 Mg) is moving 6.0 m/s to the south on a frictionless track and couples with another car of mass 20,000 kg (20 Mg). The final velocity of the now-coupled cars is 1.8 m/s to the south. Find the velocity of the second car before the coupling. (Hint: The direction is important!)
7. Two train cars are on a straight, horizontal track. The car A starts at rest and is put in motion with a constant acceleration of 2.00 m/s2. This car A moves toward the car B that is 25.0 m away. The car B is moving in same direction as car A with an initial velocity of 4.5 m/s and is traveling with a constant acceleration of -1.50 m/s2 a) Where will the cars collide? b) How long will it...

Three identical train cars, coupled together are rolling east at 2.0 m/s. A fourth car traveling east at 4.0 m/s catches up with the three and couples to make a fourcar train. A moment later the train cars hit a fifth car that was at rest on the tracks, and it couples to make a five car train. What is the speed of the five car train? Answer in m/s.
