What quantity is conserved in collisions?

Momentum

Final momentum when both cars come to rest after collision

00 kg m/s

Initial momentum if final momentum is 00 kg m/s

00 kg m/s

Individual momenta relation when total momentum is 00

Equal

Momentum equation

p=mvp = mv

Equation when momentum of Car A equals momentum of Car B

mA×vA=mB×vBm_A \times v_A = m_B \times v_B

Substituted values: 10001000 kg car & 15001500 kg at 99 m/s

1000×vA=1500×91000 \times v_A = 1500 \times 9

vAv_A from 1000×vA=1500×91000 \times v_A = 1500 \times 9

13.513.5 m/s
