A 1500 kg car is moving eastward at a speed of 28 m/s. It collides inelastically with a 2500 kg van traveling northwest at a speed of 35 m/s at an angle of 45o with respect to the car. What is the velocity and direction (angle) of the two vehicles immediately after the collision?

A 1200 kg car moving at 7.8 m/s collides with a stationary car of mass 1500 kg. If the two vehicles lock together, what is their combined velocity immediately after the collision?

A car with mass 1.45*10^3 kg traveling east at a speed of 24.4 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2.49*10^33 kg van traveling north at a speed of 19.2 m/s, as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (that is, they stick together) and assuming that friction between the vehicles and the road can be neglected.

A mass of 1200 kg by traveling 18 m/s collides inelastically with a mass of 1800 kg traveling 15 m/s in the opposite direction. Calculate the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the combined masses after the collision.
