A car with a mass of 1.5 × 10³ kilograms is traveling west at a velocity of 22 meters/second. It hits a stationary car with a mass of 9.0 × 10Æ kilograms. If the collision is inelastic, what is the final direction and approximate velocity of the two cars?

Question

okay so this kind of problem is getting at the conversation of momentum

anonymous · Answer

it is also an inelastic collision..which means that kinetic energy is not conserved
