    Impact force
    If a truck weighing 20000kg going 127m/s hits a 1000kg car going 54m/s what is the final total impact force, What angle will the car travel at? What velocity will the car be going after impact?

    Don't have enough information to do this. First - are these cars hitting head on? Or at an angle? Second, you can calculate the change in momentum of the cars, and hence the "pulse" they experience, from



    But you can't calculate F without further information.
