Freight car A with a gross weight of 138000 lb is moving along the horizontal track in a switching yard at 3.0 mi/hr. Freight car B with a gross weight of 166000 lb and moving at 3.9 mi/hr overtakes car A and is coupled to it. Determine (a) the common velocity V of the two cars as they move together after being coupled and (b) the loss of energy |AE| due to the impact. 3.9 mi/hr Answers: (a) V= (b) AEL: B i ; 3.0 mi/hr A mi/hr ft-lh
