The conservation of the total momentum before and after the collision is expressed by:
m2 2 lu = in?u + In lu
Likewise, the conservation of the total kinetic energy is expressed by:

Transcribed Image Text:A bumper car of mass 125 kg, moving at 6.30 m/s to the north, collides 100% elastically, head-on, with a second bumper
car of mass 100 kg moving at 3.50 m/s to the south. What are the velocities of the first and second bumper cars
respectively?
Note: the following may come in handy here! In these formulas, uj and uz are the velocities of the two cars before the
collision, and v and v, are the velocities after the collision.

The conservation of the total momentum before and after the collision is expressed by:
m1u1 + m2 U2 = m1v1 + m2v2.
Likewise, the conservation of the total kinetic energy is expressed by:
