ناطرين Ex2) In 1896 in Waco, Texas, William Crush parked two locomotives at opposite ends of a 6.4-km-long track, fired them up, tied their throttles open, and then allowed them to crash head-on at full speed (Fig. 7-1) in front of 30,000 spectators. Hundreds of people were hurt by flying debris; several were killed. Assuming each locomotive weighed 1.2x10° N and its acceleration was a constant 0.26 m/s, what was the total kinetic energy of the two locomotives just before the collision?
