A 50,000 lb box car going 25 mi/h is to be hitched to a gondola carrying bulk copper ore (net weight = 100,000 lb). Determine the velocity of both the railroad cars after being hitched if the gondola is initially at rest. Determine the time it takes for both railroad cars to come to rest. μk (Gondola) = 0.30
