- Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1400 kg and was approaching at 9.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 800 kg and was approaching at 22.0 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/sDirection ____________ ° (counterclockwise from west is positive)(b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? (This energy goes into deformation of the cars.) _____________ Jarrow_forwardBetty (mass 40 kg) stands in an ice rink as Bubbles (her puppy, mass 12 kg) runs towards her and leaps into her arms.
