A 34000-kg railroad freight car collides with a stationary caboose car. They couple together, and 23 percent of the initial kinetic energy is dissipated as heat, sound, vibrations, and so on. What is the mass of the caboose?
m1v1= (m1+m2)vf
KEbefore= .23KEcollision
I don't know how to set up the last equation so that velocities cancel. I am not sure how to set up the kinetice energy equation, please help! thank you!
