Question
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A car with mass 1.40 x 103 kg traveling east at a speed of 29.4 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2.56 x 103 kg van traveling north at a speed of 18.3 m/s, as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction between the vehicles and the road can be neglected.

A ball is hanging from a cord of negligible weight. A secondary ball with the same weight as the first ball is measured 3m above the hanging ball, and just touching the cord, us released from rest and gains its velocity before striking the hanging ball. If the friction is negligible and the impact is perfectly elastic, compute the magnitute and direction of the velocity of the secondary ball in terms of its velocity before contact.
