Geo was going 18.12 m/s and ran a stop sign. The Ford truck was going 6.09 m/s and had the right of way.

(XV) 1. After the Geo collided with the Ford truck, the Geo traveled about 60 ft on the grass before it stopped; the driver died in the Geo. Do you have to use this distance in order to determine what happened before the collision? Explain why or why not?

2. Was the collision elastic or inelastic? Explain.
