m₁ m2 A bumper car with mass m₁ = 105 kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v₁ = 4.3 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. Assume the surface is frictionless. 1) What is the velocity of the center of mass of the system? m/s Submit 2) What is the initial velocity of car 1 in the center-of-mass reference frame? m/s Submit 3) What is the final velocity of car 1 in the center-of-mass reference frame? m/s Submit 4) What is the final velocity of car 1 in the ground (original) reference frame? m/s Submit 5) What is the final velocity of car 2 in the ground (original) reference frame? m/s Submit 6) 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 the collision? m/s Submit + + Ⓒ A
