Engineers are using computer models to study train collisions to design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collision between two train cars traveling toward each other. Car 1 is traveling south at 18 m/s and has a full load, giving it a total mass of 14,650 kg. Car 2 is traveling north at 11 m/s and has a mass of 3,825 kg. After the collision, car 1 has a final velocity of 6 m/s south. What is the final velocity of car 2?

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.1 m below the tank bottom which is a = 7.4 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute)
