Question
A car is undergoing a crash test to determine its condition following a severe accident. The vehicle (m = 710 kg) was driving at vi = 22.5 m /s when it collided with the solid wall and came to a halt. (a) Determine its momentum before and after the incident. (b) Determine the vehicle's impulse. (c) Predict the amount of damage to the vehicle if the automobile was driving at vi = 11.0 m /s instead. (d) When compared to the preceding circumstances, would it be worse or better?
