For all elastic collisions we have

e = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{u_1 - u_2}

e = 1 = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{u_1 - u_2}

v_2 - v_1 = u - 0

also by momentum conservation we will have

m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

since two cars are identical so we know that

m_1 = m_2 = m

u + 0 = v_1 + v_2

now by solving two equations we will have

v_2 = u

v_1 = 0

so the correct answer must be

It attains the same speed as the first car.

What is initial velocity
Lapatulllka [165]

Initial Velocity is the velocity at time interval t = 0 and it is represented by u. It is the velocity at which the motion starts. They are four initial velocity formulas: (1) If time, acceleration and final velocity are provided, the initial velocity is articulated as. u = v – at.
