A 1200 kg station wagon is moving along a
straight highway at 12.0 m/s. Another car
with mass 1800kg and speed 20.0 m/s has
its center of mass 40.0 m away. (a) Find the
position of the center of mass of the two
cars. (b) Find magnitude of total momentum
of the system. (c) Find the speed of the center
of mass of the system. (d) Find total
momentum using center of mass.
