Consider the bumper car collision below. Bumper car A is waiting to come out onto the circuit so it is stationary before the collision (Va = 0). Bumper car B comes around the corner and decides to smash into bumper car A. The velocity of bumper car B at the instant before the collision is V₂ = 12 km/h and they collide at an angle α = 25°. At the time of the collision bumper car A is in contact with the walls and can only move backwards. The bumper cars individually each have a weight of 150 kg however, the passenger in bumper car B weighs 110 kg and the passenger in bumper car A weighs 75 kg. For this collision you may assume that e = 0.71. Vb Car B α Car A
