Calculate the impulse that acts on the skidding cars

Reference no: EM13543738

An automobile has a mass 2100 kg and a velocity of 17 m/s. It makes a rear-end collision with a stationary car whose mass is 1900 kg. The cars lock bumpers and skid off together with the wheels locked.

What is the velocity of the two cars just after the collision?

Find the impulse (magnitude and direction) that acts on the skidding cars from just after the collision until they come to a halt.
