Solve using vectors and the scale 1 cm = 10,000 kg x m/s. Both cars weigh 1,000 kg. Assume the collision to be elastic and sticking. Resolve the resultant into its component vectors.
1. Two cars collide at an intersection. They travel at a 45° angle. From your calculations
you find their combined momentum after the collision to be 40,000 kg x m/s. Find the
momentum of each car before the collision, and the velocity of each car before the
collision.
