A mass of 200kg moves along a straight line at 10m/s. It collides with a mass of m2 kg moving the opposite way along the same straight line at 6m/s. The two masses join together on colliding to form one mass with the velocity of 2m/s. a) Determine the mass m2? b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction of the joint mass with the floor is μk =0.5, how far do they slide?
