Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinetics of Particles: Problem 3_152
3/152 Car B weighing 3200 lb and traveling west at 30 mi/hr collides with car A weighing 3400 lb and traveling north at 20 mi/hr as shown. If the two cars become entangled and move together as a unit after the crash, compute the magnitude \(v\) of their common velocity immediately after the impact and the angle \(\theta\) made by the velocity vector with the north direction.
