Vehicle A of mass 15000 kg travelling at a velocity of 1.5 m/s in the positive x-direction collides with vehicle B of mass 12000 kg travelling in the opposite direction at a velocity of 0.75 m/s as shown in the figure below. When the vehicles collide, they couple and temporarily move together as one body. Determine: (1) The velocity VAB of the vehicles just after coupling. Apply the principle of conservation of momentum. (1) The average force F between the cars if the coupling takes place in 2 seconds. Use the impulse-momentum principle. y VA = 1.5m/s Va = 0.75 mis
