- Initial velocity=20m/s
- Final velocity=0m/s(As the car stops)
- Acceleration=-8m/s^2
- Distance=s=26m
We need to verify the thrid equation of kinematics here





The squirrel has a good luck ,Car gets stopped just 1m away from the squirrel .
Answer:

Explanation:
<u>The total momentum of a system is defined by:</u>

Where,
is the total momentum or it could be expressed also as
.
and
represents the masses of the objects interacting in the system.
and
are the velocities of the objects of the system.
<em>Remember: </em><em>The momentum is a fundamental physical magnitude of vector type.</em>
We have:


We are going to take the east side as positive, and the west side as negative. Then the velocity of the car B, has to be <u>negative</u>. It goes in a different direction from car A.

Then the total momentum of the system is:
