A 2670 kg truck jumps the median and clobbers a 630 kg station wagon in a head-on 28.) collision. You are tasked with determining the truck's initial speed for insurance purposes. An observer states that the station wagon was traveling at a speed of 25.1 m/s and that after the collision, the two vehicles stuck together and were moving at a speed of 23.2 m/s in the direction the truck was originally moving. WMhat was the truck's original speed?
