Chapter 15.3, Problem 35P
The 5-Mg bus B is traveling to the right at 20 m/s. Meanwhile a 2-Mg car A is traveling at 15 m/s to the right. If the vehicles crash and become entangled, determine their common velocity just after the collision. Assume that the vehicles are free to roll during collision.

The 2.5-Mg pickup truck is towing the 1.5-Mg car using a cable as shown. If the car is initially at rest and the truck is coasting with a velocity of 30 km/h when the cable is slack, determine:
1. The common velocity of the truck and the car just after the cable becomes taut.
2. The loss of energy
A railroad car having a mass of 15000 kg is coasting at 1.5 m/s on a horizontal track. At the same time another car having a mass of 12000 kg is coasting at 0.75 m/s in the opposite direction. If the cars meet and couple together, determine the speed of both cars just after the coupling.
The two flat cars A and B each have a mass of 80kg. If the man C has a mass of 70kg and jumps from A with a horizontal relative velocity of vC/A= 2 m/s and lands on B, determine the velocity of each car after the jump. Neglect the effect of rolling resistance.
