Elastic End
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010physics: how do you find the final speed of both vehicles after the collision, which is an elastic collision?
a 722kg car stopped at an intersection is rear-ended by a 1620kg truck moving with a speed of 14.5m/s. if the car was in neutral and its breaks were off, so that the collision is approximately elastic, find the final speed of both vehicles after the collision?
please provide equations with step by step work.. using the numbers from above! thank you!
total momentum before collission =total momentum after collission
