A 1360 - kg car moving at 6.40 m/s is initially traveling north along the positive direction of a y axis. After completing a 90° right-hand turn to the positive x direction in 4.00 s, the inattentive operator drives into a tree, which stops the car in 490 ms.

Question

A 1360 - kg car moving at 6.40 m/s is initially traveling north along the positive direction of a y axis. After completing a 90° right-hand turn to the positive x direction in 4.00 s, the inattentive operator drives into a tree, which stops the car in 490 ms

 

(picture has the question) 

In unit-vector notation, what is the impulse on the car during the collision?

\[ [ \ \ \ ] \hat{i} \ + \ [ \ \ \ ] \hat{j} \]

In this problem, you are asked to determine the impulse on the car during the collision using unit-vector notation. The answer should be expressed as a combination of the unit vectors \(\hat{i}\) and \(\hat{j}\), where \(\hat{i}\) represents the x-component and \(\hat{j}\) represents the y-component of the impulse. Please enter the appropriate numerical values in the provided boxes.
