Q1[Type B]: In an amusement park, two bumper cars are moving toward each other on a flat, frictionless surface. Car A has a mass of 200 kg (including the rider) and is traveling at a speed of \(4\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\), while Car B has a mass of 300 kg (including the rider) and is traveling at a speed of \(2\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) in the opposite direction. The two cars collide elastically (energy is conserved). What are the speeds of Car A and Car B right after the collision?
Hint: Is the momentum of the two cars as a system conserved?
