Question
Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at speed 2v, while the second was travelling at speed v at an angle theta south of east (as indicated in the figure). After the collision, the two car system travels at a speed vfinal at an angle phi east of north. Express your answers in terms of known quantities.
Find the magnitude of the speed vfinal in terms of v and theta.
