Suppose you have two identical bumper cars (we'll call them A & B). A moves towards B at 1.7 m/s. Meanwhile, B is moving towards A at -2.2 m/s (the negative sign indicates the opposite direction!). Both bumper cars have a mass of 600 kg. If the bumper cars collide and stick together, what is the final velocity of the two-car system after the collision? Assume they are traveling in a straight line.
