Question:

In a high-speed chase, a policeman’s car bumps a criminal’s car directly from behind to get his attention. The policeman’s car is moving at 40.0 m/s to the right and has a total mass of 1800 kg. The criminal’s car is initially moving in the same direction at 38.0 m/s. His car has a total mass of 1500 kg. Assuming an elastic collision, determine their two velocities immediately after the bump.
