The experiment is about elastic collisions. It is two cars and one of them is on a ramp and the other is down the ramp. The top car (A) will be pushed to collide with the bottom car (B). Regarding the experiment described: Suppose car A starts from a height of 5 cm above the flat glass. Car A has a mass of 100 grams and car B has a mass of 150 grams.
1) How fast will car A be moving at the bottom of the ramp?
2) How fast will car A be moving after colliding elastically with car B?
3) How long will it take car B to move 30 cm across the flat glass?
4) What effect would increasing the friction on car A's wheel bearings have on the elastic collision between car A and B?

two cars collide at an intersection
two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 2000 , is going from west to east, while car B, of mass 1500 , is going from north to south at 17.0 . As aresult 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, afterthe collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 65.0 south of east from...

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.

Background Info: In this experiment you will observe and analyze elastic and inelastic collisions in one dimension and in two dimensions. You will measure the final momentum of a system after it explodes. You will see how both kinds of collision affect the kinetic energy of a system that consists of two frictionless carts. You will determine the momentum of two carts after they collide when one cart is initially stationary. You will analyze the results qualitatively as well as...
