Car of masses (301.1 ± 0.1) g consists of an initial speed of (2.12 ± 0.03) m/s and moves in the positive X direction. The Car B of mass (305.3 ± 0.1) g is at first stationary. The two cars collide. After the collision, car A comes to a stop and car B has a speed of (1.97 ± 0.02) m/s in the positive X-direction.
i) Compute the net Initial kinetic energy of the two car system having uncertainty.
ii) Compute the net final kinetic energy of the two car system having uncertainty.
iii) Is this an elastic collision? Describe.
