A railroad car of mass 2.50 X 10ª kg is moving with a speedof 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupledrailroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and mov-ing in the same direction with an initial speed of 2.00 m/s.(a) What is the speed of the four cars after the collision?

A 5-kg sled has an initial velocity of 3 m/s when a 33-kg child, at rest, mounts it at the top of a hill (treat like a 1-Dimensional Perfectly Inelastic Collision). The sled and child move down a frictionless slope (ℎ1 = 12 m) where a second child of same mass mounts the sled. The two children and sled continue down a second frictionless slope (ℎ1 = 18m). What is the velocity of the children and sled at the bottom of the second slope?
