The first car has a mass of 1050 kg and was approaching at 5.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 900 kg and was approaching at 25.0 m/s due west. (a) Calculate the final velocity of the cars. (Note that since both cars have an initial velocity, you cannot use the equations for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis; instead, you must look for other simplifying aspects..) magnitude: m/s direction: (degrees) (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? (This energy goes into deformation of the cars.)arrow_forward
