Oh right. v1 and v2 will be pointing in orthogonal directions. So how can I represent these vectors in the given formula?

I'm still not sure what that means...

In the problem that I have, since neither the mass nor velocities change during the turn, would the impulse just be 0 for the duration of the turn?

If I am not given the radius of the turn, how can I still use the uniform circular motion formula?

Homework Statement A 1400kg car is driving at a constant velocity, 5.3 m/s. It turns 90 degrees in 4.6 seconds. And then it slams into a tree and it takes 350 ms to stop the car. What is the impulse on the car (a) due to the turn? (b)Due to the collision with the tree? What is the...

Hello, How would you calculate the impulse during the time which a car drives in a circle. You are given the car's mass and constant velocity and the time that the car was turning and how many degrees the car turned. Thanks in advance!
