Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded cars are moving toward one another, the first having a mass of 1.50×105 kg1.50×105kgand a velocity of (0.30 m/s)i^(0.30m/s)i^, and the second having a mass of 2×105 kg2×105kgand a velocity of (−0.12 kg)i^(−0.12kg)i^. What is the energy lost in this inelastic collision?
