Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick togetherafterward. The first car has a mass of 1650 kg and was approachingat 5.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 800 kg and wasapproaching at 25.0 m/s due west. (a) Calculate the final velocity(magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise fromthe west) of the cars. (Note that since both cars have an initialvelocity, you cannot use the equations for conservation of momentumalong the x-axis and y-axis; instead, you must look for othersimplifying aspects.) magnitude m/s direction ° counterclockwisefrom west (b) How much kinetic energy (in J) is lost in thecollision? (This energy goes into deformation of the cars.) J
