Physics

A pair of bumper cars in an amusement park ride collideelastically as one approaches the other directly from the rear, asseen in part (a) of the figure below. ((a) before collision, (b)after collision) One has a mass of m1 = 462 kg and the other m2 =546 kg, owing to differences in passenger mass. If the lighter oneapproaches at v1 = 4.48 m/s and the other is moving at v2 = 3.63m/s, calculate the velocity of the lighter car after thecollision.

Calculate the velocity of the heavier car after thecollision.

Calculate the change in momentum of the lighter car.
