Find the velocity of the heavier car

Reference no: EM13690661

Estimate the each part of following problem given below:

Problem; Two railroad freight cars with masses 130Mg and 170Mg approach with equal speeds of 0.360 m/s, they collide the lighter car rebounding opposite its original direction at 0.300m/s.

Part I: Find the velocity of the heavier car after the collision. Assume the original direction of the lighter car is positive.

Part II: What fraction of the original kinetic energy was lost in this inelastic collision?

I want you to clarify the physics in this above problem.
