Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1750 kg and was approaching at 5.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 900 kg and was approaching at 16.0 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..)

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1200 kg and is approaching at 8.5 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 550 kg and is approaching at 15 m/s due west. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the final velocity, in meters per second, of the cars. (b) Calculate the direction of the final velocity, in degrees south of west, of the cars. (c) What is the change in kinetic energy, in joules, for the collision? (This energy goes into the deformation of the cars.)
