A truck moving at 35.0mph collides head on with a car traveling in the opposite direction. The mass of the car is 550 kg, the mass of the truck is 2200 kg. During thecollision both vehicles come to a stop in 0.150s as the front end of both vehicles’crumples. What was the acceleration of the car? Assume that during the collision the acceleration of each vehicle is constant.Also, assume that frictional force are small compared to the forces compared to the contact forces between the vehicles during the colision.
