Javier Mcgee · Answer 1

- 670 kg. m/s

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that to every action, there is equal and opposite reaction force. Since the force will be same but different in direction and acted in the same time then the impulses (force multiply by time) of the two car be same in magnitude but different in direction - 670 kg. m/s
