Problem 1 At an amusement park in the greater Hartford area there are three 180-kg bumper cars occupied by UHart seniors. The riders in cars A, B, and C have individual masses of 50, 70, and 40 kg respectively. Car A is observed to be moving to the right with a velocity VA = 2 m/s and Car C is moving at vc = 1.5 m/s to the left. Car B is initially at rest with a collision imminent. The bumper cars are designed with a coefficient of restitution of 0.8 between each car. A B C Determine the final velocity of each car, after all impacts for the following two collision scenarios: (a) Cars A and Chit Car B at the same time, (b) Car A hits Car B before car C does (note there will be more than two total collisions)
