Mario pulls over to the side of the road to safely send a text to Princess Peach. Bowser, with a mass twice that of Mario, decides to text and drive. Bowser crashes his cart into Mario with a velocity of 22m s . After the collision Bowser deflects at an angle of 28◦below his original path while Mario is shoved at angle of 36◦ above Bowser’s original path. 1) Find the velocities of Mario and Bowser after the collision.  2) What percent of the initial kinetic energy is dissipated in the collision?
