Bumper car A (296 kg) moving +3.74 m/s makes an
elastic collision with bumper car B (222 kg) moving
+1.85 m/s. What is the velocity of car A after the
collision?
Use the formula to find the final velocity of car A.
Bumper Car A
m₁ = 296 kg
V₁i = 3.74 m/s
m₁ - m²)√₁i+
m1
m2
V₁f = (m
Bumper Car B
m₂ = 222 kg
V2i = 1.85 m/s
(m²
2m²)V₂i = [?] m/s
m₁ + m2
m₁ + m2
