A 579 kg car moving at 17.4 m/s hits from behind another car moving at 10.1 m/s in the same direction. If the second car has a mass of 616 kg and a post-collision speed of 20.7 m/s what is the velocity of the first car after the collision? Express your answer in m/s, to at least one digit after the decimal point. plz help and use g = 9.8
