Right is the positive x-direction and left if the negative x-direction. A toy car with an unknown mass is moving at 5.5 m/s to the left and collides with toy truck that has a mass of 6.0 kg moving at 2.5 m/s to the right. The toys collide and then bounce off of each other, the car moves to the right at 1.5 m/s and the truck moves left at 4.0 m/s. What is the mass of the toy car? Is it.. a) not shown b) 0.78kg c) 2.3kg d) 1.8kg e) 1.3kg
