Question
Create a perfectly inelastic collision where two objects collide and get stuck together. After the collision, the two objects will travel at a speed of 30 km/h and in the direction of W 30˚ S, as shown in the picture. You have control of each of the following variables:
- The mass of the first object
- The mass of the second object
- The speed of the first object
- The speed of the second object
- The direction of the first object
- The direction of the second object
In other words, find the variables that will result in a speed of 30 km/h and with a direction of W 30˚ S after the collision.

- 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 car 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.
