A 1000-kg sports car is moving north at speed 15 m/s on a level road when it collides with a 2000-kg truck driving east on the same road at speed 10 m/s. The two vehicles remain locked moving together after the collision at the origin of x-y plane. Assume that the rolling friction is too small to be ignored.
A) explain what type of collision it is
B) indicate the vector momentum by showing its magnitude and the (direction) angle after collision
C) calculate the magnitude and the direction (theta) of the momentum and velocity of two wreckage cehicles just after impact
