A railroad boxcar rolls on a track at 2.90 m/s toward two identical coupled boxcars, which are rolling in the same direction as the first, but at a speed of 1.20 m/s. The first reaches the second two and all couple together. The mass of each is 3.05 ✕ 104 kg.(a)What is the speed (in m/s) of the three coupled cars after the first couples with the other two? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.)Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. What is the momentum of the two coupled cars? What is the momentum of the first car in terms of its mass and initial speed? Note all cars are initially traveling in the same direction. Apply conservation of momentum to find the final speed. m/s(b)Find the (absolute value of the) amount of kinetic energy (in J) converted to other forms during the collision. J

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. car a weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. car b weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 44.0 mph. the cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 22.5 ft before stopping. you have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . how fast (in miles per hour) was car a traveling just before the collision? (this problem uses english units because they would be used in a u.s. legal proceeding.)

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.
