A railway truck of 100kg mass traveling with a velocity of 7ms-1 collides with a second truck of 200kg mass and the two couple automatically and move off together. Calculate the velocity of the coupled trucks and the energy lost to the system; if the second truck has a speed of 5ms-1 (a) in the same direction, (b) in the opposite direction and (c) is initially stationary.
