Vehicle collision 2007-07-31
From Tania:
If a driver falls asleep at the wheel of a newer model car and slams into the rear of a parked classic mustang (2860-3280lb) and the parked car is thrown 100 ft across the street, what would be the minimum speed required by the newer car in order to move the mustang?
