The physics department has called upon students to help set up a movie car chase and collision scene. The director has a 700 kg car traveling due East at 34 m/s. It will collide with an SUV, weighing 2800 kg, that is traveling due North. The vehicles will stick together after impact and head directly toward a drone that is carrying a camera. If the drone is flying at a 29 degree angle with respect to North (i.e., 29 degrees East of North), how fast, in m/s, does the SUV need to be going to get the exact shot the director wants?
