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 495 kg . Car A approaches at 4.50 m/s and car B is moving at 3.70 m/s. Calculate the change in momentum of car B after the collision.
A pair of bumper cars in an amusement park ride collide elastically as one approaches the other directly from the rear, as seen in part (a) of the figure below. ((a) before collision, (b) after collision) One has a mass of m1 = 441 kg and the other m2 = 562 kg, owing to differences in passenger mass. If the lighter one approaches at v1 = 4.30 m/s and the other is moving at v2 = 3.70 m/s, calculate the...

Two bumper cars collide head on. Bumper car 1 has a weight of 150 lb and is moving with a speed of 6 ft/s. Bumper car 2 has a weight of 170 lb and is moving with a speed of 4 ft/s. If no energy is lost during the collision, A) what are the velocities of the two cars after the collision? B) What is the magnitude of the average force between the two cars during the collision if it...
A bumper car with mass m1-119kg is moving to the right with a velocity of v-4.5 m/s. A second bumper car with mass m2- 84 kg is moving to the left with a velocity of v2- 3.7 m/s. The two cars have an elastic collision. Assume the surface is frictionless
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...
At a county fair, two children ram each other head-on while riding on the bumper cars. Jill and her car, traveling left at 3.30 m/s , have a total mass of 350 kg . Jack and his car, traveling to the right at 1.60 m/s , have a total mass of 270 kg . Part A: Assuming the collision to be elastic, determine the speed of Jill and her car after the collision. Part B: Determine the direction of the...
Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 1800 kg , is going from west to east, while car B , of mass 1500 kg , is going from north to south at 17 m/s . As a result of this collision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards. In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle...
A car is equipped with a bumper designed to absorb collisions. The bumper is mounted to the car using pieces of flexible tubing. Upon collision with a rigid barrier (e.g. brick wall), the bumper is designed so that a constant horizontal force is developed. If the car is initially traveling at 1.5 m/s when it collides with a rigid brick wall, compute the magnitude of the distance needed to stop the car and cause the deformation of the bumper tubing....
