Question

Two 100 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car A is moving at 8 m/s and Car Bat -10 m/s when they collide
head-on. If the resulting velocity of Car B after the collision is 8 m/s, what is the velocity of Car A after the collision? (2 points)
а) -8 m/s
b)-10 m/s
c) 0 m/s
d)10 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

b) -10 m/s

Explanation:

In perfectly elastic head on collisions of identical masses, the velocities are exchanged with one another.
