Compute the final speed of the two cars after the collision

Reference no: EM13672160

A car moving with an initial speed v collides by a second lighter stationary car that is 41.7% as massive. After the collision, the two cars stick together and move off in the same direction as before. Compute the final speed of the two cars after the collision. Give your answer in units of the initial speed (i.e. as a fraction of v)
