Question: A (1500-mathrm{kg}) car is being driven with the top open at (30 mathrm{~m} / mathrm{s} hat{imath}) when a 50 -g golf ball moving at (-10

A \(1500-\mathrm{kg}\) car is being driven with the top open at \(30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \hat{\imath}\) when a 50 -g golf ball moving at \(-10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \hat{\imath}\) hits the cushioned seat and stops immediately. What isĀ 

\((a)\) the car's momentumĀ 

\((b)\) the ball's momentum before the collision?

(c) What is the change in the car's velocity due to the collision?
