The bus B has a weight of 15,000 lb and is traveling to the right at 5ft/s. Meanwhile a 3,000 lb car A is traveling at 4ft/s to the left. If the vehicles crash head-on and become entagled, determine their common velocity just after the collision. Assume that the brakes are not applied during collision.
