- Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (Fig. P11.54). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.62 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 60.0 south of west at 10.00 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. a.
