Question
Two cars have a ‘rear end’ collision. A 1200 kg Honda moving at 20m/s strikes at 1000kg Ford moving around 15m/s. Their bumpers become locked and they continue to move as one mass. What is their final velocity?

- 1. A billiard ball, labeled 1, moving horizontally strikes another billiard ball, labled 2, at rest. Before the impact ball 1 was moving at a speed of 5.0000 m/s and after the impact it is moving at a speed of 3.0000 m/s at an angle of 50 degrees from the original direction. The two balls have equal mass.
