Force can alter its direction,slow or stop it you could say it can change its velocity
Let say the two train cars are of masses
and 
now if the speed of two cars are
and 
then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.
Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide
So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.
hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

Answer:
The angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²
Explanation:
The torque on the rod τ = Iα where I = moment of inertia of rod = mL²/12 where m =mass of rod and L = length of rod = 4.00 m. α = angular acceleration of rod
Also, τ = Wr where W = weight of rod = mg and r = center of mass of rod = L/2.
So Iα = Wr
Substituting the value of the variables, we have
mL²α/12 = mgL/2
Simplifying by dividing through by mL, we have
mL²α/12mL = mgL/2mL
Lα/12 = g/2
multiplying both sides by 12, we have
Lα/12 × 12 = g/2 × 12
αL = 6g
α = 6g/L
α = 6 × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m
α = 58.8 m/s² ÷ 4.00 m
α = 14.7 rad/s²
So, the angular acceleration α = 14.7 rad/s²
