A jeep of mass 2400kg is moving along a straight stretch of road at 80km/h. It is followed by a car of mass 1600 kg moving at 60 km/h. How fast is the center of mass of the two cars moving?

Explanation

To find the speed of the center of mass of the jeep and the car, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the masses and speeds of the vehicles
- Mass of the jeep, \( m_1 = 2400 \, \text{kg} \)
- Speed of the jeep, \( v_1 = 80 \, \text{km/h} \)
- Mass of the car, \( m_2 = 1600 \, \text{kg} \)
- Speed of the car, \( v_2 = 60 \, \text{km/h} \)
