Arailroad car of mass 2.50 3 104 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. it collides and couples with three other coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction with an initial speed of 2.00 m/s. (a) what is the speed of the four cars after the collision? (b) how much mechanical energy is lost in the collision?

The friction of the water on a boat produces an acceleration of -10. m/s2. if the boat is traveling at 30. m/s and the motor is shut off, how long it take the boat to slow down to 5.0 m/s?

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?
