The 5-Mg bus B is traveling to the right at 20 m/s. Meanwhile a 2-Mg car A is traveling at 15 m/s to the right. If the vehicles crash and become entangled, determine their common velocity just after the collision. Assume that the vehicles are free to roll during collision.
The two cars collide at right angles in the intersection of two icy roads. Car A has a mass of 1985 kg and car B has a mass of 1540 kg.
The cars become entangled and move off together with a common velocity in the direction indicated. If car A was traveling 57 km/h at
the instant of impact, compute the corresponding velocity of car B just before impact.
