A 1963 Lincoln Continental travels northward at a speed of 25 m/s. When it enters an intersection it is hit by a 2018 Ford F150 pickup traveling eastward at 15 m/s. The vehicles stick together after the collision and move off with a particular speed at a specific angle. The mass of the Continental is 2400 kg and the mass of the F150 is 2000 kg. What is the speed of the combined body after the collision?

10 m/s

11.2 m/s

15.3 m/s

22.1 m/s

40 m/s

25 m/s

8.8 m/s

17.4 m/s

A 2500 kg truck is traveling west through an intersection at 3.0 m/s when it is hit simultaneously from the side and the rear. One car is a 1500 kg compact traveling south at 4.0 m/s. The other is a 1700 kg midsize traveling west at 8.0 m/s. The three vehicles become entangled and slide as one body after collision. What is their velocity (magnitude and direction) immediately after the collision?
