Question
As shown in the figure above, Car #1 and Car #2 are sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface. Car #1 overtakes Car #2 and they have a totally elastic collision.er. You know the mass of each car;
m1 = 6.81 kg
and
m2 = 6.13 kg.
and initial speed of each car;
v1i = 1.50 m/s
and
v2i = 0.53 m/s.
 
Calculate the total momentum of the cars before the collision.

kg m/s

 
Find the speed of both vehicles after the collision in meters per second.
vcar = m/s vtruck = m/s
