Car A of mass 800 kg and car B of mass 1200 kg are headed towards each other as shown (top view). Immediately before impact, car A has a speed of 30.0 m/s and makes and angle of 40° with the x- axis as shown. Car B has a speed of 20.0 m/s and makes and angle of 75° with the y-axis as shown. After the collision, the cars stick together and move as one. 40° 75° a) What is the velocity of the cars immediately after the collision, expressed in unit vector component (Cartesian) notation. В A 20 m/s b) What is the force that Car A exerts on Car B during the collision, if the collision lasts 0.420 seconds? Expre (Cartesian) notation. 30 m/s your answer in unit vector component c) Is the collision elastic or inelastic? Justify you answer with some sort of calculation.
