6. A 3000 kg truck is moving westward through a "frictionless" intersection at 4 m/s. A second truck, with a mass of 5000 kg is moving northward through the same intersection at 3 m/s. They collide and stick together. a. Setup a conservation of momentum equation in the x-direction b. Setup a conservation of momentum equation in the y-direction c. What is the speed of the trucks immediately after impact. d. What is the direction of the trucks immediately after impact. e. What is the change in kinetic energy of the system? Where did the energy go?
