Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (see figure below). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.70 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 79.1° south of west at 4.25 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one ca reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver. The two bumper cars move off together after the collision, and friction is negligible between the cars and the ground. W-0E Car 2 Car I (a) If the masses of bumper cars 1 and 2 are 596 kg and 625 kg respectively, what is the velocity of the bumper cars immediately after the collision? magnitude m/s direction east of south (b) What is the kinetic energy lost in the collision?
