A moving small car has a head-on collision with a large stationary truck 7.3 times the mass of the car. Which statement is true about the direction of the car after the collision if the collision is elastic? The car continues moving in its initial direction with the same velocity. The car bounces off and moves in the opposite direction. The car keeps moving in its initial direction with a lower velocity than at first. The car stops completely.
You've got a tiny car hitting against a giant truck, imagine this in the real world, would it bounce off? Or would it smash against it and crumple. Therefore, the car would stop completely.
