Q. A bumper car with mass m1 = 115kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v1 = 4 m/s. A second bumper car with mass m2 = 95 kg is moving to the left with a velocity of v2 = -3.7 m/s. The two cars have an elastic collision. Suppose the surface is frictionless.
What is the final velocity of car 1 in ground (original) reference frame?
What is the final velocity of car 2 in ground (original) reference frame?
In a new (inelastic) collision, the same two bumper cars with the same initial velocities now latch together as they collide.
What is the final speed of the two bumper cars after collision?
