Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 2000 kg, is going from west to east, while car of mass 1500 kg, is going from north to south at 15 m/s. As a result, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one. As an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 52∘ south of east from the point of impact. How fast were the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision? ( round your answer to 1 decimal point)

Car
A has a mass of 2000 kg and approaches an intersection with a
velocity of 38 m/s directed to the east. Car B has a mass of 3500

Two cars are headed for an intersection. The first car has a
mass of 1218 kg and is approaching at v1 m/s due south. The second
car has a mass of 846 kg and is approaching at 23.9 m/s due west.

Two cars approach an ice-covered intersection. One car, of mass
1.21 X 10^3 kg, is initially traveling north at 12.1 m/s. The other
car, of mass 1.62 X 10^3 kg, is initially traveling east at 12.1
m/s. The cars reach the intersection at the same instant, collide,
and move off coupled together. Find the velocity of the center of
mass of the two-car system just after the collision.
