Question
Two cars, one with mass m1 = 1200 kg and the other with mass m2 =1050 kg crash in an intersection. Before the crash, car 1 was headed East with a speed of 17 ms/ and car 2 was headed North with a speed of 12.5 m/s. After the crash, the cars stick together. What is the velocity of the cars after the crash?
