Can I go ahead and assume the final velocity is 0 to find the initial velocity after the collision? If so I believe I would plug it into Vf^2 = V0^2 + 2ax using the distance 12.63 m.

Sorry for double posting the photos don't seem to be coming up clear in the reply so here they are.. m1v1o-m2v2o=m1v1fcosθ1+m2v2fcosθ2 m1v1o-m2v2o=m1v1fsinθ1+m2v2fsinθ2]

I am sorry if this sounds like a stupid question I am not great at physics and need reassurance Since p=mv would I use the equations in the attached photos after determining the angles via force diagrams:

Homework Statement I apologize in advance because this is a long question. This is a scenario based question where I role play as an intern for the Montreal Police Collision Investigation Unit. Basically I have to determine the initial velocity of vehicles to determine whether or not they are...
