Car B is initially stationary and is struck by car A, which is moving with speed v.

Question:

Car B is initially stationary and is struck by car A, which is moving with speed v. The mass of car B is pm, where m is the mass of car A and p is a positive constant. If the coefficient of restitution is e = 0.1, express the speeds vA′ and vB′ of the two cars at the end of the impact in terms of p and v. Evaluate your expressions for p = 0.5.
