Given
Car 1
m1 = 1300 kg
v1 = 20 m/s
m2 = 900 kg
v2 = -15 m/s
(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)
Procedure
As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,
Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

Answer:
Force = 35 N
Explanation:
From Newton's third law of motion, the boy must apply a force greater than the weight of the sled to lift it.
weight of sled = mg
where m is its mass and g the force of gravity on it.
weight of sled = 50 N
Force applied by the boy on the sled = 15 N
Since the force applied on the sled by the boy is lesser than the weight of the sled, then;
Force that the sled exerts on the student = 50 - 15
= 35 N
The force exerted by the sled on the student is 35 N.
