A car with a mass of 1,400 kg and a speed of 15 m/s heading north approaches an intersection. At the same time, a minivan with a mass of 1,800 kg and speed of 22 m/s heading east is also approaching the intersection. The car and the minivan collide and stick together. What is the velocity of the wrecked vehicles just after the collision? Ignore friction between the tires and the surface of the road. (Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees counterclockwise from due east.)
