This is a classic impuls-momentum problem.
F=ma = mdV/dt
In order to solve you need to integrate this over the time duration from the moment the objects collide to when V=0.

This question is ill defined, insufficient information is given. To determine the decelleration during a collision, there must be some measure of time, distance or combination thereof to determine the decelleration.

I would have to look this up and get back to you.
