Step 1:
\Mass of car A is kg.
Mass of car B is kg.
Initial speed of car A is m/sec.
Initial speed of car B is m/sec.
Let the velocities of car A and car B after the collision as .
Law of conservation of mechanical energy: .
Substitute corresponding values in the formula.
\Step 2:
\\
The relative velocity of one particle with respect to the other is reversed by the collision.
\Substitute in expression (1).
m/sec.
Velocity of car A after the collision as m/sec.
(b)
\.
Substitute in
.
m/sec.
Velocity of car A after the collision as m/sec.
(c)
