Consider the following cases of inelastic collisions.
Case (1) – A car moving at \(75 \, \text{mph}\) collides with another car of equal mass moving at \(75 \, \text{mph}\) in the opposite direction and comes to a stop.
Case (2) A car moving at \(75 \, \text{mph}\) hits a stationary steel wall and rolls back.
The collision time is the same for both cases. In which of these cases would result in the greatest impact force?

A driver is driving at \( 40 \, \text{m/s} \) when the light turns red in front of her. It takes the driver \( 0.9 \, \text{s} \) to react and hit the brakes. After this, the car slows with an acceleration of \( 3.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). What is the total distance traveled by the car?
