A 1875-kg car going 23 m/s rear-ends a 1025-kg compact car going 17 m/s on ice in the same direction. The two cars stick together. How fast do the two cars move together immediately after the collision?

Step 1
Step 1: Identify the given values: - Mass of the first car (\(m_1\)) = 1875 kg - Velocity of the first car (\(v_1\)) = 23 m/s - Mass of the second car (\(m_2\)) = 1025 kg - Velocity of the second car (\(v_2\)) = 17 m/s Show more…

A $1650-\mathrm{kg}$ automobile moving south $12.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ collides with a $2450-\mathrm{kg}$ automobile moving north on an icy road. The automobiles stick together and move $3.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ to the north after the collision. What is the speed of the heavier automobile before the collision?
