Calculate the velocity of car just before impact


You have been assigned to investigate a traffic accident. The masses of car A and car B are 1400kg and 1000 kg, respectively. Car B was initially at rest with all four wheels locked. Skid marks indicate car B slid 10 m after the impact. Assuming that the coefficient of kinetic friction the tires and road is 0.9and the coefficient of restitution of the impact is0.5, calculate the velocity of A just before impact.
