In an elastic
collision, bumper cars 1 and 2 are moving in the same direction
when bumper car 1 rear-ends bumper car 2. The initial speed of
bumper car 1 is 6.71 m/s and that of bumper car 2
is 4.93 m/s. The bumper cars have the same mass. Take the
positive direction to be the direction in which the bumper cars are
moving.
What is the final velocity, in meters per second, of bumper car
1?
What is the final velocity, in meters per second, of
bumper car 2?
