Boxes A, B, and C are identical. Both B and C are initially at rest when box B is struck by box A, which has an initial speed, VA of 3 ft/s. After the impact between A and B, the friction causes the speed of boxes A and B to decrease while box C speeds up until all the boxes are moving at the same speed as a single mass. a) Find the velocity of boxes A and B immediately after the impact if the two boxes stick together (in ft/s). At this time, box C has not started moving yet. [Ans. to Check: VA= 1.5 ft/s] b) Draw FBDS for (1) boxes A & B, which are now stuck together and (2) box C, which is starting to speed up, but is slipping on boxes A & B.

Q5. As shown in the image below, the freight cars A and Bare approaching each other, and they have a mass of mA = 19 Mg and mB = 12 Mg, respectively. The directions of their initial velocities are shown in the image, and the speeds are VA,1 = 4.7 m/s and vB,1 = 1.2 m/s. If the two cars collide and get stuck together, determine the loss of their combined kinetic energy (in kJ) during the collision. Please pay attention: the numbers may change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 1 place after the decimal point, and proper SI unit. VA,1 A VB,1 В Your Answer: Answer
