A 1055 kilogram van, stopped at a traffic light, is hit directly in the rear by a 660 kilogram car traveling with a velocity of +1.95 m/s. Suppose that the transmission of the van is in neutral, the brakes are not being applied, and the collision is elastic. Determine the final velocity of each vehicle?

(a) car

m/s

(b) van

m/s
