Question
A 1200 kg car skidding due north on a level
frictionless icy road at 172.5 km/h collides
with a 2256 kg car skidding due east at
138 km/h in such a way that the two cars
stick together.
vf
138 km/h
N
2256 kg
172.5 km/h | 1200 kg
At what angle (–180° < 0 < +180°) East
of North do the two coupled cars skid off at?
Answer in units of °
How much kinetic energy is lost in the colli-
sion?
