A bumper car with mass m1 = 107 kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v1 = 4.6 m/s. A second bumper car with mass m2 = 98 kg is moving to the left with a velocity of v2 = -3.2 m/s. The two cars have an elastic collision. Assume the surface is frictionless.
1) What is the velocity of the center of mass of the system? m/s
2) What is the initial velocity of car 1 in the center-of-mass reference frame? m/s
3) What is the final velocity of car 1 in the center-of-mass reference frame? m/s
4) What is the final velocity of car 1 in the ground (original) reference frame? m/s
5) What is the final velocity of car 2 in the ground (original) reference frame? m/s
6) In a new (inelastic) collision, the same two bumper cars with the same initial velocities now latch together as they collide.
What is the final speed of the two bumper cars after the collision? m/s
7) Compare the loss in energy in the two collisions:
a) |ΔKEelastic| = |ΔKEinelastic|
b) |ΔKEelastic| > |ΔKEinelastic|
c) |ΔKEelastic| < |ΔKEinelastic|

Two bumper cars
Two bumper cars in an amusement park ride collide elastically as one approaches the other directly from the rear. Car A has a mass of 450 kg and car B 550 kg, owing todifferences in passenger mass. If car A approaches at 4.5 m/s and car B is moving at 3.7 m/s calculate (a) their velocities after the collision, and (b) the change inmomentum of each.
