Engineers are using computer models to study train collisions to design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collision between two train cars
traveling toward each other. Car 1 is traveling north at 20 m/s and has a mass
of 12,745 kg. Car 2 is traveling south at 15 m/s and has a mass of 4,125 kg.
After the collision, car 1 has a final velocity of 3 m/s north. What is the final
velocity of car 2?
A. 56 m/s north
B. 56 m/s south
C. 38 m/s south
D. 38 m/s north
