The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of A is 6275kg

Speed of A is 6.5m/s

Mass of B is 5155kg

Speed of B is 3.8m/s

Track is frictionless.

A and B stick together.

speed of attached A and B = ?

mₐsₐ + mᵇsᵇ = (mₐ + mb) s

6275 X 6.5 + 5155 X 3.8 = ( 6275 + 5155) X s\\\\s = \frac{40787.5 + 19589}{11430}\\ \\s = \frac{60376.5}{11430}\\ \\s = 5.28m/s

Therefore, The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s
