Answer:
The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.
Explanation:
This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.
The formula to apply is :
where ;
Given in the question that;
Apply the formula as;
{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}
263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f
305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f
305775-87900 = 3825v₂f
217875=3825v₂f
217875/3825 =v₂f
56.96 = v₂f
<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>
