Thanks so much for your help everyone - I'm in over my head at the moment!
To answer some questions:
I think the force on Car A would be -6844N
BvU - The speed after the collision and the stop of car A is assuming that the only resistance is rolling resistance, so brakes are no longer being...
Homework Statement
Car A (m1=1405kg) crashes into Car B (m2=873kg) which is stationary and perpendicular to Car A. Car B is moved a distance of 1.8m out of the way and Car A rolls to a stop 9.6m away at 1.93 m/s. Assuming the coefficient of friction is 0.8, can the velocity of Car A be...
