Answer : The change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.
Explanation :
Change in momentum : The change in momentum of an object is the product of the mass and the change in velocity of an object.
The formula of change in momentum is,

Impulse : An impulse of an object is the product of the force applied on an object and the change in time. Impulse is also equivalent to the change in momentum of an object.

Proof :

Hence, the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.
Momentum = mass • velocity
v= 17.5/2.5
= 7 m/s
Hey there!
Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.
0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s
–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s
So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.

Answer:
The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction will cancel each other out.
