Impulse and Momentum Worksheets: Two vehicle collision scenarios with before and after states, masses, velocities, and collision times for calculating unknowns.

Two vehicles collide as shown in diagrams. In part [A], a 25,000 kg truck (A) and a 1200 kg car (B) collide. Before the collision, the truck moves at 3 m/s and the car at 2 m/s. After the collision, the truck moves at 1 m/s, and the car's final velocity is unknown. The collision time is 0.224 seconds. In part [B], a 15,000 kg airplane (A) and a 34,000 kg airplane (B) collide head-on at 255 m/s and 145 m/s, respectively. After the collision, they stick together, and their combined velocity is unknown. The collision time is 0.00541 seconds. The diagrams include labels for mass, velocity, and tim
