Help me out with this!

A 150g toy car collides with a padded lounge chair at 1.20m/s. The collision takes 0.3s. The toy car stops after the collision.

a) Calculate the impulse the car applies to the lounge.

The formula for impulse is I=Ft... So like, what's the F? F=ma, but what is the acceleration? Is it deceleration cause the toy car comes to a stop after the collision..?

b) Calculate the impulse the lounge applies to the car.

:/

c) Calculate the average force the car applies to the lounge.



Alright, I've spent a long long time trying to figure these questions out, but I just can't. I'll appreciate any help at all!! Thanks!
