A truck with a mass of 1430 kg and moving with a speed of 17.0 m/s rear-ends a 821 kg car stopped at an intersection. The collision is approximately elastic since the car is in neutral, the brakes are off, the metal bumpers line up well and do not get damaged. Find the speed of both vehicles after the collision in meters per second. Vcar= ___ m/s Vtruck= ___ m/s

A 1000 kg car travels at 20 m/s and rear ends an 800 kg car at rest. If they stick together, what is their final velocity after colliding? A 2 kg block with initial velocity 2 m/s collides with a 4 kg block at rest and rebounds with velocity -0.5 m/s. Was the collision elastic? If not, how much energy was lost?
