The idea is to use conservation of momentum. Calculate the total momentum before the collission, add it up, then calculate the combined velocity after the collision, based on the momentum.
Zero.
Total momentum before the collision = total momentum after the collision As a reminder, momentum is the product of velocity and mass.
inelastic collision The formulas for the velocities after a one-dimensional collision are: where V1f is the final velocity of the first object after impact V2f is the final velocity of the second object after impact V1 is the initial velocity of the first object before impact V2 is the initial velocity of the second object before impact M1 is the mass of the first object M2 is the mass of the second object CR is the coefficient of restitution; if it is 1 we have an elastic collision; if it is 0 we have a perfectly inelastic collision
In a collision, a force acts upon an object for a given amount of time to change the object's velocity. The product of force and time is known as impulse. The product of mass and velocity change is known as momentum change. In a collision the impulse encountered by an object is equal to the momentum change it experiences.Impulse = Momentum Change. What happens to the momentum when two objects collide? Nothing! unless you have friction around. Momentum#1 + Momentum#2 before collision = sum of momentums after collision (that's a vector sum).
It's the change in velocity, the rate of change (derivative) which is instantaneous velocity. Acceleration can be positive or negative, meaning increased or decreased velocity respectively.
If initial velocity is zero, the collision seems unlikely.
A collision where the velocity remains the same but there is impact still.
The total momentum before the collision is the same as the total momentum after the collision. This is known as "conservation of momentum".
Zero.
Total momentum before the collision = total momentum after the collision As a reminder, momentum is the product of velocity and mass.
To calculate the velocity after a perfectly elastic collision, you need to apply the principle of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy. First, find the initial momentum of the system before the collision by adding the momenta of the objects involved. Then, find the final momentum after the collision by equating it to the initial momentum. Next, solve for the final velocities of the objects by dividing the final momentum by their respective masses. Finally, make sure to check if the kinetic energy is conserved by comparing the initial and final kinetic energy values.

Nah, brah. Momentum and kinetic energy are conserved, but velocity is not. Correct me if I am wrong but from how I interpret this, any collision cause the colliding bodies to change their direction. Thus velocity, which is a vector quantitiy containing direction, is by definition changed in an elastic collision. I guess speed, which is the magnitude of the velocity, can be considered as being conserved?
ask any witnesses of the collision if they've seen velocity. it might help to bring a picture of it to help the people recognize who you're looking for. you could also ask the police when they show to to help search for it.

they both crash
