Two bumper cars in an amusement park ride collide elastically as one approaches the other directly from the rear. Car A has a mass of 435 kg and car B 495 kg, owing to differences in passenger mass. If car A approaches at 4.5 m/ and car B is moving at 3.70 m/s,

(a) What are their velocities after the collision?

(b) and what is the change in momentum of each?

Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (Fig. P11.54). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.62 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 60.0o south of west at 10.00 m/s. After they collide, bumper car 1 is observed to be traveling to the west with a speed of 3.14 m/s. Friction is negligible between the cars and the ground. 

(a) If the masses of bumper cars 1 and 2 are 596 kg and 625 kg respectively, what is the velocity of bumper car 2 immediately after the collision?

(b) What is the kinetic energy lost in the collision?

Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another as shown in the figure. Initially, bumper car 1 is travelling to the east at 5.62 m/s, and bumper car 2 is travelling 60.0o south of west at 10.00 m/s. After they collide, bumper car 1 is observed to be travelling to the west with a speed of 3.14 m/s. Friction is negligible between the cars and the ground. If the masses of the bumper cars 1 and 2 are 596 kg and 625 kg, respectively, what is the velocity of bumper car 2 immediately after the collision?

Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 1900 kg, is going from west to east, while car B, of mass 1500 kg, is going from north to south at 15.0 m/s. As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 55.0 degrees south of east from the point of impact. How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision?
