    This document contains calculations of the momentum and velocities of two cars, a SLOR car with a mass of 1378.68 kg traveling at 21 mph and a Green car with a mass of 1870.10 kg traveling at 37 mph, before and after a collision. It first calculates the individual momentums of each car and then the total momentum before collision. It then uses the conservation of momentum principle to calculate the final velocity of both cars after collision as 30.2109 mph.

    SLOR

    M=1378.68 kg

    Which is converted from their pounds (3040)

    V1=21 mph

    P=MV

    P=1378.68kg (21 mph) P= 28,952.28kg.m/h

    Green Car

    M=1,870.10kg

    V2=37mph

    P=1,870.10(37) P= 69,193.7

    Total Mass = 3248.78 kg

    This has given us our before momentum or before collision state.

    Before Momentum= 28,952.68kg m/h

    69,193.7kg m/h

    After Total Momentum=98,146.38 kg. /h

    VF= P/M

    VF=69,193.7kg m/h / 3248.78kg

    VF=30.2109m/h
