a car of mass M traveling at velocity v1 to the right strikes a wall and bounces back with a velocity -v. What is the impulse on the car? An identical car traveling at velocity v1 strikes the wall and does not bounce back. How does the impulse of this collision compare to the first collision? Assuming the crashes take place approximitely at the same time, how does the average force experienced by the driver in the collision with the bounce compare to that experienced by the driver in the car without the bounce? Is it safer to have fenders that bounce or fenders that buckle and bend?

Car A and Car B are traveling in the same direction (call it i^), with B behind A, and initial speeds vA=5.6 m/s, and vB = 6 m/s. The cars have identical mass m=103 kg, and they experience an elastic collision. Now, this collision is observed by a third person traveling in a car with constant velocity v=6 m/s, traveling in the same direction as the two cars. From the point of view of this person calculate the following: 1)The initial momentum of car A. 2)The initial momentum of car B. 3)The final momentum of car A (you might want to first calculate the final velocity of car A relative to the ground). 4)The final momentum of car B (you might want to first calculate the final velocity of car B relative to the ground). 5)The total final kinetic energy: 6)The total final kinetic energy as measured from the ground. 7)Based on the previous answers and your calculations of the total initial kinetic energy, does the third person conclude that the collision is:
