Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Part C)

Part d)
Due to large magnitude of friction between road and the car the momentum conservation may not be valid here as momentum conservation is valid only when external force on the system is zero.
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that car A moves by distance 6.1 m after collision under the frictional force
so the deceleration due to friction is given as



now we will have




Part b)
Similarly for car B the distance of stop is given as 4.4 m
so we will have


Part C)
By momentum conservation we will have



Part d)
Due to large magnitude of friction between road and the car the momentum conservation may not be valid here as momentum conservation is valid only when external force on the system is zero.
Answer:
yes you are totally right
Explanation:
Reactants ⇒ product + heat (exothermic reaction) ....(1)
We have given that the reaction is exothermic, so the heat is rejected from the reaction. We know that heat is the form of energy.
From equation (1)
from the given equation we can see that reactants have more energy than products.
So the reactants have higher potential energy in comparison to the products.
