Two identical 1350-kg automobiles A and B are at rest with their brakes released when B is struck by a 5400-kg truck C which is moving to the left at 8 km/h. A second collision then occurs when B strikes A. Assuming the first collision is perfectly plastic and the second collision is perfectly elastic, determine the velocities of the three vehicles just after the second collision.

Car A weighing 4000 lb and car B weighing 3700 lb are at rest on a 22-ton flatcar which is also at rest. Cars A and B then accelerate and quickly reach constant speeds relative to the flatcar of 7 ft/s and 3.5 ft/s, respectively, before decelerating to a stop at the opposite end of the flatcar. Neglecting friction and rolling resistance, determine the velocity of the flatcar when the cars are moving at constant speeds.

Car A was at rest 27.8 ft south of the point O when it was struck in the rear by car B, which was traveling north at a speed vB . Car C, which was traveling west at a speed vC , was 120 ft east of point O at the time of the collision. Cars A and B stuck together and, because the pavement was covered with ice, they slid into the intersection and were struck by car C which had not changed its speed. Measurements based on a photograph taken from a traffic helicopter shortly after the second collision indicated that the positions of the cars, expressed in feet, were rA = 30.3i + 50.7j, rB = 30.3i + 61.2j, and rC = 59.4i 45.6j. Knowing that the weights of cars A, B, and C are, respectively, 2800 lb, 3600 lb, and 3200 lb, solve the problems indicated.
