Question 1152078: I am trying to determine the vehicle speed upon impact. Vehicle A weighs 3,428lbs and Vehicle B weighs 4,269lbs. Vehicle A was moving and Vehicle B was stationary (parked). Vehicle A struck Vehicle B from behind and pushed the car forward a distance of approximately 30-feet on dry asphalt. At what speed (mph) must Vehicle A have been traveling at upon impact in order to push stationary Vehicle B 30-feet forward?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
As the problem is formulated (worded, printed, posted and presented), it CAN NOT be solved.
The reason why it can not be solved is the lack of input data.
To be solved, the friction forces should be calculated, but the post does not give the necessary info for it.
