Question
2 cars collide, coming from the bottom, as seen in the diagram. The momentum of the blue car was found to be 24kg*m/s (52ENE) before the collision and 16.4kg/m/s (64NWN) after the collision. The red car was found to have a momentum of 13.3 kg*m/s (50WNW) and 20.8 kg*m/s (52ENE)


a)What was the Total Momentum Before the Collision and After?
b) What was the Change in Momentum of Car 1 and 2
c) What was the total kinetic energy before and after?
d) What was the change in energy of both Car 1 and 2?
e) Finally what type of collision is this
