Question 10Two 5000-kg freight cars roll toward one another, (one at 1 m/s and the other at 2m/s) on a level track. Thus before they collide, one car's kinetic energy is 2500 J and the other's is 10,000 J. They collide and couple together. The kinetic energy turned into heat (mostly warming the couplers) in the collision is....
- A.1250 J
- B.2,500 J
- C.7,500 J
- D.11,250 J
