Answer: Two bumper cars in an amusement park ride collide
Chapter 1, Problem 27P(choose chapter or problem)
(II) Two bumper cars in an amusement park ride collide elastically as one approaches the other directly from the rear (Fig. ). Car A has a mass of and car , owing to differences in passenger mass. If car approaches at \(4.50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and car is moving at \(3.70 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), calculate
( ) their velocities after the collision, and the change in momentum of each.
