A car of mass 750 kg travels at 40 m/s to the right. The car collides with a 1200 kg truck which is traveling at 35 m/s to the right. The two interlock as a result of the collision. What is the final velocity of the car-truck system?
a) 72.0 m/s
b) 40.0 m/s
c) 36.9 m/s
d) 35.0 m/s

A train of mass 200 kg moves with a velocity of 100 m/s to the right. The train collides with a car of mass 50 kg which is stopped on the track. After the collision, the train comes to a stop. Solve the final velocity of the car.
a) 200 m/s
b) 300 m/s
c) 400 m/s
d) 500 m/s
