2.3. A train car is sitting on a level track when a second car moves in. The second car hits the first, their hitches engage, and they move together. Both cars have equal masses of about 120 000 kg, and the second car initially has a velocity of 1.5 m/s. (a) Draw a diagram that illustrates the situation and include an arrow representing the velocity vector of the second car and a separate arrow representing ĉ, the unit vector for the coordinate system along the tracks. (b) Write vector expressions for both the velocity and momentum of the second car using at least two forms of vector notation that have been covered in class. (c) Just before the collision, what is the velocity of the center of mass of the system that includes both cars? Again, express this as a vector.

(a) Find the speed at which Superman (mass=90.0 kg) must fly into a train (mass = 17485 kg) traveling at 65.0 km/hr to stop it. Running into the train at that speed would severely damage both train and passengers. (b) Calculate the minimum time Superman must take to stop the train if the passengers experience an average horizontal force of 0.410 their own weight. (c) How far does the train then travel while being slowed to a stop?
