Question:

A \(1500-\mathrm{kg}\) car going at \(6.32 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) collides with a \(3000-\mathrm{kg}\) truck at rest. If the collision is totally inelastic and takes place over an interval of \(0.203 \mathrm{~s}\), what is the average acceleration of each vehicle? Are the ratio of accelerations and the ratio of inertias related the way you expect them to be?
