Collisions in two Dimensions help2?

A 1055 kg van, stopped at a traffic light, is hit directly in the rear by a 670 kg car traveling with a velocity of +1.95 m/s. Assume that the transmission of the van is in neutral, the brakes are not being applied, and the collision is elastic. What is the final velocity of each vehicle?

    (670kg)(1.95m/s) = (1055kg + 670kg)v

    v = +0.757m/s
