Car I has a mass of 1.50 x 10' kg and is moving at a constant speed of 4.00 m/s. It strikes Car 2, which is at rest and has a mass of 1.20 x 10 kg. The cars lock together and continue to roll forward. They then collide and lock together with Car 3, which is at rest and has a mass of 1.80 x 10' kg.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:Car 1 has a mass of 1.50 x 10' kg and is moving at a constant speed of 4.00 m/s. It strikes
Car 2, which is at rest and has a mass of 1.20 x 10 kg. The cars lock together and continue
to roll forward. They then collide and lock together with Car 3, which is at rest and has
a mass of 1.80 x 10' kg.
