A 1200 kg car collides with a 160 kg deer (don’t worry, the deer survives and goes on to cause several more car crashes). The collision results in an acceleration (“deceleration”) of 2.5 m/(sec)^2 for the car. Find the acceleration of the deer during the collision.

Answer:
18.75
Explanation:
p=mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity. For the car:
p=1200*2.5=3000
For the deer:
3000=160*v
v=18.75m/s
Hope this helps!
