Question:

Two cars of the same mass run head-on into each other at C. After the collision, the cars skid with their brakes locked and come to a stop in the position shown in the lower part of the figure. Knowing that the speed of car A just before impact was 5 km/h and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the pavement and the tires of both cars is 0.30, determine(a) The speed of car B just before impact,(b) The effective coefficient of restitution between the twocars.image
