1. A moving car rear ends a parked car. The parked car moves off at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizon. The rear car ricochets off at an angle of 35 degrees below the horizon. Both cars have the same mass. If the moving car was moving 10 m/s and has a mass of 1000 kg.
Find the following:
a. What is the initial momentum of the entire system?
b. What is the momentum of the entire system after the collision?
c. What is the final velocity of each car?
This is from my practive test so please show all work! I will be given one just like this on the test and need to know how to do it.
