Question: 1 4 . 4 Car A weighing 4 0 0 0 1 ! ? and car B weighing 3 7 0 0 are at rest

14.4 Car A weighing 40001!? and car B weighing 3700 are at rest on a 221ton flatcar which is also at rest. Cars A and B then accelerate and quickly reach constant speeds relative to the flatcar of 7 f!/.s and 3.5 f!/.s, respectively, before decelerating to a stop at the opposite end of the flatcar. Neglecting friction and rolling resistance, determine the velocity of the flatcar when the cars are moving at constant speeds.
