Multiple Choice
Elastic collisions in one dimension: A car of mass 1689 kg collides head-on with a parked truck of mass 2000 kg. Spring mounted bumpers ensure that the collision is essentially elastic. If the velocity of the truck is 17 km/h (in the same direction as the car's initial velocity) after the collision, what was the initial speed of the car?
A) 19 km/h
B) 38 km/h
C) 29 km/h
D) 10 km/h
