Question: 3 / 2 1 4 Two barges, each with a displacement ( mass ) of 5 0 0 Mg , are loosely moored in calm

3/214 Two barges, each with a displacement (mass) of 500 Mg , are loosely moored in calm water. A stunt driver starts his 1500-kg car from rest at A, drives along the deck, and leaves the end of the 15 ramp at a speed of 50kmh relative to the barge and ramp. The driver successfully jumps the gap and brings his car to rest relative to barge 2 at B . Calculate the velocity v2 imparted to barge 2 just after the car has come to rest on the barge. Neglect the resistance of the water to motion at the low velocities involved.
