What is the velocity of the first car after the collision

Reference no: EM13538140

A 416 kg car moving at 17.8 m/s hits from behind another car moving at 11.3 m/s in the same direction. If the second car has a mass of 757 kg and a new speed of 13.0 m/s, what is the velocity of the first car after the collision?
