    2 Cars Colliding with same mass

    Hiya. The problem I'm trying to solve is this: I have two cars, each with the same mass. Speed before Collision of Car1 = Xm/s Speed before Collision of Car2 = Ym/s To solve the problem of what speeds the two cars have after an ELASTIC collision, i used simultaneous equations. My...

    What is the outcome of a collision between two cars at constant speed?

    I feel so silly for not being able to work this out... The situation is this - two cars going towards each other. Both cars' mass = 1Kg. The speed of car 1, say, is 5m/s. The speed of car 2, say, is 3 m/s. THE IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE IS THAT BOTH CARS ARE TRAVELLING AT CONSTANT SPEED! What I'm...
