Question

Two cars collide with each other. Car A has a mass of 1000 kg and is moving towards car B with a velocity of 20 m/s. Car B has a mass of 800 kg and is at rest. What is the velocity of each car immediately after they collide?
We assume this is a one-dimensional collision that obeys the conservation laws of momentum and
mechanical energy.

Accepted Answer

v_{A} = 2.22 m/s, v_{B} = 22.2 m/s

Answer

v_{A}= 3.24 m/s, v_{B}  = 18.3 m/s

Answer

v_{A} = 6.72 m/s, v_{B}  = 24.5 m/s

Answer

v_{A} = 4.48 m/s, v_{B}  = 17.3 m/s
