Question

Two cars collide in a head on collision as shown in figure. They lock together.

[c] Calculate the impulse felt by each car.
[d] If the collision lasted 0.7 seconds, what force is felt by each car?
1000 kg, 50 m/s
1500 kg, 20 m/s​

Answer 1

hii ✌️

=> The impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object. In equation form, F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the change in momentum.
