What is the initial speed of the car

Reference no: EM13256131

A car of mass 1203 kg collides head-on with a parked truck of mass 2000 kg. Spring mounted bumpers ensure that the collision is essentially elastic. If the velocity of the truck is 17 km/h (in the same direction as the car's initial velocity) after the collision, what is the initial speed of the car?
